As part of the day-ahead market clearing process, MISO solves one of the most challenging Security Constrained Unit Commitment (SCUC) models. This paper introduces several developments on MIP SCUC formulation that result in significant performance improvement. Numerical results based on MISO data are presented. Index Terms – Electricity market, mixed integer programming, security constrained un...

In this paper, a stochastic two-stage model is offered for optimization of the day-ahead scheduling of the microgrid. System uncertainties including dispatchable distributed generation and energy storage contingencies are considered in the stochastic model. For handling uncertainties, Monte Carlo simulation is employed for generation several scenarios and then a reduction method is used to decr...

With the increasing integration of renewable energy into power networks, scheduling and operation systems become more challenging, in particular because intermittency wind speed. Thus, appropriate optimization tools are needed to efficiently manage modern systems. This paper considers unit commitment problem under high penetration. To mitigate potential negative effects inaccurate forecast, a c...
