Abstract: The fossil fuelled power plants are discharging green house gases into the atmosphere which leads to the climate change and global warming around the world. Environmental factors become subject of matter for fossil – fuelled power producers and must be considered in the optimization problem. In this article the profit based unit commitment problem has been analyzed with emission limitations using Modified Pre –Prepared power Demand (MPPD) Table with Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm. An electricity market facilitated by emission minimization is believed to help to reduce the global warming and paves the way to enhance the profit of generation companies. The proposed approach is demonstrated on 10 units 24 hour (IEEE 39 bus system) test systems and numerical results are tabulated. The MPPD-ABC algorithm appears to be robust, simple and reliable optimization algorithm for the solution of PBUC problem with emission constraints.
