A Primal-Proximal Heuristic Applied to the Unit-Commitment Problem

چکیده
This paper is devoted to the numerical resolution of unit-commitment problems. More precisely we present the French model optimizing the daily production of electricity. Its resolution is done is two phases: first a Lagrangian relaxation solves the dual to find a lower bound; it also gives a primal relaxed solution. The latter is used in the second phase for a heuristic resolution based on a primal proximal algorithm. This second step comes as an alternative to an earlier approach based on augmented Lagrangian (i.e. a dual proximal algorithm). We illustrate the method with some real-life numerical results. A companion paper is devoted to a theoretical study of the heuristic in the second phase.

Nous présentons le modèle utilisé par EdF. Sa résolution se fait en deux phases: tout d’abord une relaxation lagrangienne donne une borne inférieure du coût optimal, ainsi qu’une solution du problème primal relaxé. Cette dernière est injectée dans la seconde phase pour une optimisation heuristique utilisant un algorithme proximal primal. Une approche antérieure pour cette seconde phase utilisait le lagrangien augmenté, c’est à dire un algorithme proximal dual. Nous illustrons la méthode par quelques résultats numériques tirés du réel. L’heuristique primale-duale a fait l’objet d’une étude théorique, publiée par ailleurs.

A primal-proximal heuristic applied to the French Unit-commitment problem
This paper is devoted to the numerical resolution of unit-commitment problems, with emphasis on the French model optimizing the daily production of electricity. The solution process has two phases. First a Lagrangian relaxation solves the dual to find a lower bound; it also gives a primal relaxed solution. We then propose to use the latter in the second phase, for a heuristic resolution based o...
متن کاملAn adaptive modified firefly algorithm to unit commitment problem for large-scale power systems
Unit commitment (UC) problem tries to schedule output power of generation units to meet the system demand for the next several hours at minimum cost. UC adds a time dimension to the economic dispatch problem with the additional choice of turning generators to be on or off. In this paper, in order to improve both the exploitation and exploration abilities of the firefly algorithm (FA), a new mo...

متن کاملOptimal Scheduled Unit Commitment Considering Wind Uncertainty Using Cuckoo Search Algorithm
In this paper, a new method to review the role of wind units as an energy-producer in the scheduling problem of unit commitment is presented. Today, renewable energy sources due to lack of environmental pollution, absence of dependence on fossil fuels, and consequently a very low marginal cost, have been receiving considerable attention in power system. But these sources are associated with unc...
متن کاملThe Effects of Electricity Boiler on Integrated CCHP-Thermal-Heat Only Unit Commitment Problem Based on Hybrid GA Approach
Combined cooling, heat, and power (CCHP) units can be integrated with conventional separate cooling, heat, and power production units to meet demands. The goal of this study is to develop and examine a hybrid GA-heuristic optimization algorithm for solving the unit commitment problem for integrated CCHP-thermal-heat only system with considerations for electricity boiler. When environmental emis...
