Genetic operators setting for the operation planning of hydrothermal systems

摘要

This paper presents a study of Genetic Operators used in the Operation Planning of Hydrothermal Systems. Such investigation was necessary to define the influence and rate for each genetic operator on the resolution of this problem. In order to adjust Genetic Algorithms to the problem investigated several traditional genetic operators were adapted. The developed algorithm was applied in real Hydrothermal Systems, with plants belonging to the Brazilian Southeast System.
