PSERC 97-12 “Thermal Unit Commitment Including Optimal AC Power Flow Constraints”

چکیده
We propose a new algorithm for unit commitment that employs a Lagrange relaxation technique with a new augmentation of the Lagrangian. The new augmentation involves a duplication of variables that allows relaxation of the coupling between generator timespanning constraints and system-wide instantaneous constraints. This framework allows the possibility of committing units that are required for the VArs that they can produce, as well as for their real power. Furthermore, although the algorithm is very CPUintensive, the separation structure of the Lagrangian allows its implementation in parallel computers. Our work builds upon that of Batut & Renaud, as well as that of Baldick.

The increasing concern of global climate changes, the promotion of renewable energy sources, primarily wind generation, is a welcome move to reduce the pollutant emissions from conventional power plants. Integration of wind power generation with the existing power network is an emerging research field. This paper presents a meta-heuristic algorithm based approach to determine the feasible dispa...
متن کاملParallel Processing Implementation of the Unit Commitment Problem with Full AC Power Flow Constraints
In this paper, the authors describe a parailel implementation of the Lagrangian Relaxation Algorithm with variable duplication for the thermal unit commitment problem. The formulation was previously reported bp the authors and allows inclusion of the full nonlinear AC’ network power flow model, which permits addressing voltage limits, as well as more realistic branch flow limits than is possibl...
متن کاملShort Term Unit-Commitment Using Genetic Algorithms
Unit commitment is a complex decision-making process because of multiple constraints which must not be violated while nding the optimal or a near-optimal commitment schedule. This paper discusses the application of genetic algorithms for determining short term commitment order of thermal units in power generation. The objective of the optimal commitment is to determine the on/oo states of the u...
متن کاملOptimal Power Flow (OPF) Model with Unified AC-DC Load Flow and Optimal Commitment for an AC-catenary Railway Power Supply System (RPSS) fed by a High Voltage DC (HVDC) transmission line
In this paper an alternative railway power systems design based on an HVDC feeder is studied. The HVDC feeder is connected to the catenary by converters. Such an HVDC line is also appropriate for DC-fed railways and AC-fed railways working at public frequency. A unit commitment optimal power flow model has been developed and is applied on a test system. In this paper, the model is presented in ...
