This paper introduces a new approach for scheduling security constraint unit commitment (SCUC) including wind farms. Because of uncertainty in wind power production, we tried to develop a new method for incorporating wind power generation in power plant scheduling. For this, wind power generation modeled with unit commitment in a non-linear optimization problem and simulated by submitting diffe...

As a part of the day-ahead market clearing process, Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) solves one of the largest and most challenging Security Constrained Unit Commitment (SCUC) models. Better computational performance of SCUC models not only improves the market efficiency but also facilitates future market developments. This paper introduces recent developments in SCUC formulation...

Currently, optimization models for the safe and reliable operation of power systems deal with two major challenges: first one is reduction computational load when considering N−1 contingencies; second adequate modeling uncertainty intermittent generation demand. This paper proposes a new affinely adjustable robust model to solve security constrained unit commitment problem these sources uncerta...

In this paper, the impacts of an incentive-based Demand Response, i.e., Ancillary Service DR (ASDR), and a price-based DR, i.e., Time of Use (ToU), are revealed in a restructured power system which has some wind farms. This network is designed based on the pre-emptive market which is a day-ahead market with a balancing market prognosis. It is a proper mechanism to deal with the stochastic natur...

Security-constrained unit commitment (SCUC) model is used for power system day-ahead scheduling. However, current SCUC uses a static network to deliver and meet demand optimally. A dynamic can provide lower optimal cost alleviate congestion. due the computational complexity lack of effective algorithms, reconfiguration has not been included in yet. This paper presents novel approach handle secu...

This paper summarizes the technical activities of IEEE Task Force on Solving Large Scale Optimization Problems in Electricity Market and Power System Applications. was established by Technology Innovation Subcommittee to first review state-of-the-art security-constrained unit commitment (SCUC) business model, its mathematical formulation, solution techniques solving electricity market clearing ...

This study extends the agent-based 8-Zone ISO-NE Test System to include wind turbine agents, each characterized by location, physical type, and an output curve mapping local wind speed into wind power output. Increases in wind power penetration (WPP) are modeled as build-outs of investment queues for planned wind turbine installations. The extended system is used to study the effects of increas...
