A Hybrid Search Algorithm for Midterm Optimal Scheduling of Thermal Power Plants

A hybrid search algorithm consisting of three stages is presented to solve the midterm schedule for thermal power plants (MTSFTPP) problem, where the primary objective is to achieve equal accumulated operating hours of installed capacity (EAOHIC) for all thermal power plants during the selected peri...
