In order to expedite the execution, an Artificial neural network is used to generate a possible unit commitment schedule and a heuristic procedure is employed to modify the unit commitment to achieve a feasible and near optimal solution. The cascade correlation algorithm employs several novel modifications, including the ability to add units when necessary. The results of this method are promising when compared to other existing methods.} }
