A computer-based method to schedule utility consumers includes creating a first generation of vectors using a processor. A vector is made up of a set of operation periods within a time period for consumers of a utility. The method also includes producing, using a processor, one or more successive generations of vectors from the first generation of vectors to create a descendant generation of vectors, and selecting a vector of the descendant generation of vectors based on a fitness function. Then operation periods from the vector of the descendant generation of vectors are provided over a computer communication medium to control operation of the consumers of the utility. |
