Nature-inspired meta-heuristics for power system optimization-Part 2

This book presents artificial immune system for optimal scheduling of thermal plants in coordination with fixed head hydro units. Numerical results for two test systems have been presented to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method. Results obtained from the proposed method have been compared to those obtained using differential evolution, particle swarm optimization and evolutionary programming technique.
