This paper provides the convex hull description of the single thermal Unit Commitment (UC) problem with the following basic operating constraints: (1) generation limits, (2) start-up and shut-down capabilities, and (3) ...

This work proposes a Clustered Unit Commitment (CUC) formulation to accurately model flexibility requirements such as ramping, reserve, and startup/shutdown constraints. The classic CUC intrinsically and hiddenly overestimates ...

The day-ahead unit-commitment (UC)-based marketclearing (MC) is widely acknowledged to be the most economically efficient mechanism for scheduling resources in power systems. In conventional UC problems, power schedules ...

The paper analyses the amount of operation reserves procured in a hydrothermal system to deal with wind power and demand uncertainty. The operation planning of the system is formulated as a detailed hourly unit commitment ...

The growing increase of renewable generation worldwide is posing new challenges for a secure, reliable, and economic operation of power systems. In order to face the uncertain and intermittent production of renewable ...

This paper presents a conceptual approach for eliminating the multiple estimation problem of impedance-based fault location methods applied to power distribution systems, using the available measurements of current and ...

A learning-based strategy that uses support vector machines and k nearest neighbours is proposed for locating the faulted zone in radial power systems, specifically in distribution networks. The main goal is to reduce the ...
