Solving Unit Commitment and Security Problems by Particle Swarm Optimization Technique

This paper presents Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique for solving the Unit Commitment (UC) and security problems in Microgrid Central Energy Management System. Two faults were allowed to occur randomly in a generation system. PSO was required to identify the faults themselves and allocate adequate generation from other subsystems. A MATLAB program was written to solve the generation faults and UC problems. PSO is implemented in several cases with simultaneous double faults. It was noted that PSO was applied successfully in all cases.
