Electrical Power Unit Commitment Deterministic and Two-Stage Stochas

This volume in the SpringerBriefs in Energy series offers a systematic review of unit commitment (UC) problems in electrical power generation. It updates texts written in the late 1990s and early 2000s by including the fundamentals of both UC and state-of

Preface

Electricity demand varies during each day and each week due to the cycling pattern of our life. In addition, electricity is an instantaneously perishable commodity and still cannot be efficiently stored in bulk. These facts raise an interesting question for electrical power generation: how to meet the time varying demands in the most economical way. To answer this question, a great amount of research efforts have been devoted to the Unit Commitment (UC) problem, which aims to optimally schedule the “on” and “off” statuses and power dispatches of electrical power generating units while considering multiple technical and economic constraints. The UC problems are mostly formulated as mixed integer linear programs. Based
