Özet

This paper introduces a hyper-heuristic approach for the Unit Commitment Problem (UCP). Tests are performed using benchmark data from literature and real-world data from the Turkish interconnected power network. The proposed hyper-heuristic and several methods applied previously to the UCP, are compared. Results show that the hyper-heuristic method achieves good results in all test sets. Furthermore, it is also a robust method for increased problem sizes without the need for parameter tuning. Based on the promising results, research will continue for further improvements.
