Abstract
A new approach using fuzzy dynamic programming is proposed for the unit commitment of a power system. A characteristic feature of the presented approach is that the errors in the forecasted hourly loads can be taken into account by using fuzzy set notations, making the approach superior to the conventional dynamic programming method which assumes that the hourly loads are exactly known and there exist no errors in the forecasted loads. To reach an optimal commitment strategy under the fuzzy environment, a fuzzy dynamic programming model in which the hourly loads, the cost, and system security are all expressed in fuzzy set notations is developed. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated by the unit commitment of Taiwan power system which contains 6 nuclear units, 48 thermal units, and 44 hydro units. © 1991 IEEE
