With the increased variability and uncertainty of net load induced from high penetrations of
renewable energy resources and more flexible interchange schedules, power systems are …

Optimizing the schedule of thermal generators is probably the most important task when the
operation of power systems is managed. This issue is known as the unit commitment …

This paper presents a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) reformulation of the thermal
unit commitment (UC) problem. The proposed formulation is simultaneously tight and …

Modern power systems are undergoing a transitional phase, increasingly incorporating
renewable energy sources (RES) to harness their economic and environmental benefits …

This paper presents a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) formulation of start-up (SU)
and shut-down (SD) power trajectories of thermal units. Multiple SU power-trajectories and …

This paper introduces a new framework for optimum design and operation of hybrid
renewable energy plants (HREP) augmented with battery energy storage systems (BESS). A …

The concept of Virtual Power Plant (VPP) has arisen over a decade ago from the relatively
low competitiveness of the back then emerging non-dispatchable RES. A set of smaller …

Large scale integration of variable and uncertain Renewable Generation (RG) in power
systems causes frequent load-generation imbalances. Systems require additional …

Security-constrained unit commitment (SCUC) problem is one of the necessary tools for
system operators to make operational planning and real-time operation. The internalization …

Abstract The Unit Commitment problem in energy management aims at finding the optimal
productions schedule of a set of generation units while meeting various system-wide …
