  4. Abstract:
  5. Short-term hydrothermal scheduling (STHTS) is a highly non-linear, multi-model, non-convex, and multi-dimensional optimization problem that has been worked upon for about 5 decades. Many research articles have been published in solving different test cases of STHTS problem, while establishing the superiority of one type of optimization algorithm over the type, in finding the near global best solution of these complex problems. This paper presents the implementation of an improved version of a variant of the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (PSO), known as Accelerated Particle Swarm Optimization (APSO) on three benchmark test cases of STHTS problems. The adaptive and variable nature of the local and global search coefficients for the proposed APSO significantly improve its performance in obtaining the optimal solution for the STHTS test cases. Two of these cases are non-cascaded cases of STHTS problem (NCSTHTS) and one case is cascaded case of STHTS problem (CSTHTS). The results are compared with the results of the previous implementations of the other algorithms as presented in the literature. Due to the stochastic nature of the meta-heuristic algorithms, the parametric and non-parametric statistical tests have been implemented to establish the superiority of results of one type of algorithm over the results of the other type of algorithms. © 2013 IEEE
