Abstract: This paper presents a new approach to determine the optimal hourly schedule of power generation in a hydrothermal power system using PSO technique.. The simulation results reveal that the proposed PSO approach appears to be the powerful in terms of convergence speed, computational time and minimum fuel cost.
