ABSTRACT

This paper presents an Improved Genetic Algorithm (IGA) to solve the economic dispatch of cogeneration systems in a deregulated market. Based on bi-lateral trade between cogeneration systems and utility, an objective function is derived for the cogeneration systems to obtain the maximal profit while stratifying the operational constraints. IGA takes advantage of the conventional GA and tabu search. The crossover and mutation schemes of conventional GA are improved by a competition mechanism to avoid the prematurity. Tabu Lists with heuristic rules are also employed in the searching process to enhance performance. The IGA approach is demonstrated by using a real cogeneration system. Results can offer an efficient way for cogeneration systems to promote the competed ability.
