Wind generation with an uncertain nature poses many challenges in grid integration and secure operation of power system. One of these operation problems is the unit commitment. Demand Response (DR) can be defined as the changes in electric usage by end-use customers from their normal consumption patterns in response to the changes in the price of electricity over time. Further, DR can be also d...

As part of the day-ahead market clearing process, MISO solves one of the most challenging Security Constrained Unit Commitment (SCUC) models. With the footprint expansion and increased financial activities, the day-ahead market unit commitment may encounter performance challenges from time to time. This paper reviews MISO’s day-ahead market clearing process and identifies the factors contributi...

as renewable energy increasingly penetrates into power grid systems, new challenges arise for system operators to keep the systems reliable under uncertain circumstances, while ensuring high utilization of renewable energy. this paper presents unit commitment (uc) which takes into account the volatility of wind power generation. the uc problem is solved with the forecasted intermittent wind pow...
