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 …

As part of the day-ahead market clearing process, MISO solves one of the most challenging
Security Constrained Unit Commitment (SCUC) models. With footprint expansions and …

Unit commitment, one of the most critical tasks in electric power system operations, faces
new challenges as the supply and demand uncertainty increases dramatically due to the …

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

Security-constrained unit commitment (SCUC) is a fundamental problem in power systems
and electricity markets. In practical settings, SCUC is repeatedly solved via mixed-integer …

We provide a comprehensive overview of mixed-integer programming formulations for the
unit commitment (UC) problem. UC formulations have been an especially active area of …

This paper examines the polytope of feasible power generation schedules in the unit
commitment (UC) problem. We provide computational results comparing formulations for the …

Thermal energy storage (TES) for a cooling plant is a crucial resource for load flexibility.
Traditionally, simple, heuristic control approaches, such as the storage priority control which …

Currently, there is a national push for a smarter electric grid, one that is more controllable
and flexible. The full control of transmission assets are not currently built into electric network …

Increasing energy efficiency in water distribution systems is one of the most important
aspects of a sustainable water infrastructure. Additionally, providing this energy from …
