Abstract

In present scenario pumped storage hydrothermal system is becoming an important part of power systems for energy and water resource management. To maximize the water as fuel input in hydroelectric system pumped storage units are added with an advantage of operating in generating as well as pumping mode. Apart from minimizing the cost of power generation pumped storage unit resolves other practical problems like scarcity of water for drinking and irrigation. This paper has adopted time varying acceleration coefficient PSO (TVAC-PSO) technique with different PSO variants to solve hydrothermal scheduling (HTS) problem considering pumped-storage unit. The global best solution is compared with result obtained from PSO and heuristic optimization technique mentioned in paper and improved result is chosen.
