This paper presents a Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization (HPSO) to solve the Unit Commitment (UC) problem. Problem formulation of the unit commitment takes into consideration the minimum up and down time constraints, start up cost and spinning reserve, which is defined as the minimization of the tot...
