Abstract
This paper presents a Simulated Annealing Algorithm (SAA) to solve the Unit Commitment Problem (UCP). New rules for randomly generating feas ible solutions are introduced. The problem has two subproblems: a comb inatorial optimization problem and a nonlinear programming problem, Th e former is solved using the SAA while the latter problem is solved vi a a quadratic programming routine. Numerical results showed an improve ment in the solutions costs compared to previously obtained results.
