I show how the unit commitment problem may be recast to a jobscheduling problem amenable to a linear programming solution. While this will require a much larger memory footprint than an equivalent mixed integer programming model, I hope to show that the LP approach lead to both faster time-to-solution and greater numerical stability. 1 The Unit Commitment Problem At its most basic, the unit com...

this paper presents a formulation of unit commitment for thermal units integrated with wind and solar energy systems and electrical vehicles with emphasizing on mixed integer nonlinear programming (minlp). the renewable energy resources are included in this model due to their low electricity cost and positive effect on environment. as well as, coordinated charging strategy of electrical vehicle...

A host of technologies has been developed to achieve these aims of the smart grid. Some of these technologies include plug-in electric vehicle, demand response program, energy storage system and renewable distributed generation. However, the integration of the smart grid technologies in the power system operation studies such as economic emission unit commitment problem causes two major challen...
