Abstract

Due to deregulation of power industries, generation companies strive to attain maximum profit without any compulsion of satisfying consumer´s demand. For generation companies, unit commitment is an optimizing task of scheduling units to acquire maximum profit with minimum operation cost. This paper proposes Gbest Artificial Bee Colony algorithm to solve profit based unit commitment (PBUC). The competence of proposed algorithm is endorsed on IEEE 26 unit test system. The simulation results confirm that PBUC has drawn more profit compared to traditional unit commitment.
