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 …

Optimal scheduling of power generating units must take into account possibilities of forecast
errors and equipment failure. The stochastic unit commitment problem addresses …

In hydroelectric plants, the responsibility for the operation of the reservoirs typically lies with
the national system operator, who controls the level of the reservoirs based on a stochastic …

The intermittent nature of renewable energy sources and fluctuating electricity demand
induce significant uncertainty that needs to be tackled with computationally efficient solution …

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

Abstract Background Unit Commitment (UC) is a complication in the domain of power
systems engineering which is integral to the secure, efficient, and economic daily operation …

The thirst of the Earth for energy is lurching towards catastrophe in an era of increasing
water shortage where most of the power plants are hydroelectric. The hydro-based power …

This paper concerns the assessment of two methods for convex relaxation of the short-term
hydrothermal scheduling problem. The problem is originally formulated as a mixed integer …

The ever-growing insertion of intermittent energy sources requires to account for this
uncertainty by precise models. Probabilistic constraints are an interesting technique to deal …

The high penetration of intermittent renewable generation has prompted the development of
Stochastic Hydrothermal Unit Commitment (SHUC) models, which are more difficult to be …
