To Solve the Hydropower Station Optimal Scheduling with Time-Varying Prices Based on Bees Algorithm

Abstract:

A new kind of intelligence optimization algorithm - Bees Algorithm (BA) is introduced, which is developed in recent years and is easy to realize, extremely quickly to convergence. Using the algorithm, the article solves optimal regulation of hydropower stations with time-varying price. Actual example proves the validity and fast astringency of BA. Thus, an additional method is proposed for solving optimal regulation of cascade hydropower stations.
