A Case Study of Various Constraints Affecting Unit Commitment in Power System Planning

In fact, the problem of Unit Commitment is a complicated decision making operation on account of various operational constraints affecting the economical scheduling of units in an electrical power system. These constraints could not be violated while determining the optimal or near optimal commitment schedule. This paper presents a detailed study of various operational constraints which directly or indirectly have a great impact on power system optimization problems. The knowledge of choosing various variables with the appropriate operational constraints is absolutely a good deal in electrical power system planning and optimization problems.
