Abstract :
The authors formulate a generalized version of the unit commitment problem that can treat minimum up- and down-time constraints, power flow constraints, line flow limits, voltage limits, reserve constraints, ramp limits, and total fuel and energy limits on hydro and thermal power generating units. They propose an algorithm for this problem, based on Lagrangian decomposition, and demonstrate the algorithm with reference to a simple model system
