Security-constrained unit commitment (SCUC) model is used for power system day-ahead scheduling. However, current SCUC uses a static network to deliver and meet demand optimally. A dynamic can provide lower optimal cost alleviate congestion. due the computational complexity lack of effective algorithms, reconfiguration has not been included in yet. This paper presents novel approach handle secu...

This paper summarizes the technical activities of IEEE Task Force on Solving Large Scale Optimization Problems in Electricity Market and Power System Applications. was established by Technology Innovation Subcommittee to first review state-of-the-art security-constrained unit commitment (SCUC) business model, its mathematical formulation, solution techniques solving electricity market clearing ...

We examine the economic consequences of a bid-based security-constrained centralized unit commitment paradigm based on three-part offers, which is the prevalent day-ahead market-clearing mechanism in restructured electricity markets in the United States. We then compare this approach with an energy-only auction with self-commitment (such as in Australia) addressing efficiency and pricing as wel...

From the optimization point of view, an optimum solution of the unit commitment problem with reliability constraints can be achieved when all constraints are simultaneously satisfied rather than sequentially or separately satisfying them. Therefore, the reliability constraints need to be appropriately formulated in terms of the conventional unit commitment variables. In this paper, the reli...

As renewable energy penetration rates continue to increase in power systems worldwide, newchallenges arise for system operators in both regulated and deregulated electricity markets tosolve the security constrained unit commitment problem with intermittent generation (due torenewables) and uncertain load, in order to ensure system reliability and maintain cost effec-tiveness. In...

In this paper, a stochastic two-stage model is offered for optimization of the day-ahead scheduling of the microgrid. System uncertainties including dispatchable distributed generation and energy storage contingencies are considered in the stochastic model. For handling uncertainties, Monte Carlo simulation is employed for generation several scenarios and then a reduction method is used to decr...

Considering the economics and securities for the operation of a power system, this paper presents a new adaptive dynamic programming approach for security-constrained unit commitment (SCUC) problems. In response to the “curse of dimension” problem of dynamic programming, the approach solves the Bellman’s equation of SCUC approximately by solving a sequence of simplified single stage optimizatio...
