Abstract

A multi-core parallel Particle Swarm Optimization (MPPSO) algorithm is developed to improve computational efficiency for long-term optimal hydropower system operation, in response to rapidly increasing size and complexity of hydropower systems, especially in China. The MPPSO can be implemented in three steps with easily accessible multi-core hardware platforms. First, a multi-group parallel computing strategy is introduced to maintain the diversity of population for finding the global optima. Second, the fork/join framework based on divide-and-conquer strategy is adopted to distribute multiple populations to different CPU cores for parallel calculations to take full advantage of CPU performance. Third, the results generated in different CPUs are merged to achieve an improved acceleration effect on computational time cost and more accurate optimal scheduling solution. Results for a system of twelve hydropower stations in the Guizhou Power Grid in China demonstrate that the proposed algorithm makes full use of multi-core resources, and significantly improves the computational efficiency and accuracy of the optimal solution, in addition to its low parallelization cost and low implementation cost. These suggest that the proposed algorithm has great potential for future optimal operation of hydropower systems.
