Abstract

This chapter describes significant optimization problems such as economic dispatch (ED), unit commitment (UC), energy arbitrage, and energy system design. The solution of the ED problem using a real-coded genetic algorithm (GA) is explained and presented using four different systems reported in the technical literature. Concerning UC, the priority list method is used to initialize a binary-coded GA to enhance computational efficiency and solution quality. Other topics such as the relationship between the system size and the computational burden are discussed. Battery management under a real-time pricing environment is another problem analyzed in this chapter. To this end, an integer-coded GA is implemented to minimize the daily net cost. Rural electrification is also a subject in this chapter. An integer-coded GA is implemented to design a small-scale energy system. This chapter offers a variety of GA applications and structures.
