This paper proposes a novel technique for solving generation scheduling and ramp rate constrained unit commitment. A modified objective function associated with a new start-up cost term is introduced in this paper. The proposed method is used to solve generating scheduling problem satisfying SRR, minimum up and down time as well as ramp rate constraints. Two case studies are conducted to imp...

This two-paper series proposes a novel deterministic optimization approach for the Unit Commitment problem (UC), more specifically for the Security Constrained Unit Commitment problem (SCUC) addressing thermal generating units. In the first part, a suitable mathematical programming model is presented, which contemplates all the inherent constraints and a single set of binary variables, i.e. the...

With the increasing integration of renewable energy into power networks, scheduling and operation systems become more challenging, in particular because intermittency wind speed. Thus, appropriate optimization tools are needed to efficiently manage modern systems. This paper considers unit commitment problem under high penetration. To mitigate potential negative effects inaccurate forecast, a c...

This paper outlines the fundamental features of the PJM day-ahead energy market and real-time energy market. The Day-ahead market is based on a voluntary least-cost security constrained unit commitment and dispatch with several fundamental design features that ensure the market is robust and competitive. This market offers market participants the option to lock in energy and transportation char...

In this paper, a new formulation for modeling the problem of stochastic security-constrained unit commitment along with optimal charging and discharging large-scale electric vehicles, energy storage systems, flexible loads renewable resources is presented. The uncertainty considered as scenario-based model. multi-objective function which considers reduction operation cost, no-load startup/shutd...
