The main objective of the paper is to minimize use conventional generators and optimize fuel cost. To generators, solar thermal power plant (STPP) proposed in this paper. An approach for optimal location STPP also cost, firstly unit commitment (UC) applied generators. Then genetic algorithm (GA) used cost committed suggested method tested on an IEEE 14 bus test system 24 hr. schedule with varia...

The paper addresses the unit commitment problem in power plant operation planning. For a real power system comprising coal and gas red thermal as well as pumped storage hydro plants a large-scale mixed integer optimization model for unit commitment is developed. Then primal and dual approaches to solving the optimization problem are presented and results of test runs are reported.

The unit commitment prob lem in a power generation system com prising thermal and pumped storage hy dro units is addressed A large scale mixed integer optimization model for unit commitment in a real power system is de veloped and solved by primal and dual ap proaches Both solution methods employ state of the art algorithms and software Results of test runs are reported

abstract: enviromental concerns, improvements in renewable energy technologies, governmental incentives for the use of these resources, and increased t&d; costs, are the main factors driving the energy sector into a new era, where considerable portions of electrical demand will be met through widespread installation of distributed energy resources (ders). the virtual power plant (vpp) is a dece...
