Abstract

The cross-entropy based hybrid membrane computing method is proposed in this paper to solve the power system unit commitment problem. The traditional unit commitment problem can be usually decomposed into a bi-level optimization problem including unit start-stop scheduling problem and dynamic economic dispatch problem. In this paper, the genetic algorithm-based P system is proposed to schedule the unit start-stop plan, and the biomimetic membrane computing method combined with the cross-entropy is proposed to solve the dynamic economic dispatch problem with a unit start-stop plan given. The simulation results of 10–100 unit systems for 24 h day-ahead dispatching show that the unit commitment problem can be solved effectively by the proposed cross-entropy based hybrid membrane computing method and obtain a good and stable solution.
