Optimizing the schedule of thermal generators is probably the most important task when the
operation of power systems is managed. This issue is known as the unit commitment …

The evolving nature of electricity production, transmission, and consumption necessitates an
update to the IEEE's Reliability Test System (RTS), which was last modernized in 1996. The …

Thermal energy storage (TES) for a cooling plant is a crucial resource for load flexibility.
Traditionally, simple, heuristic control approaches, such as the storage priority control which …

We provide a comprehensive overview of mixed-integer programming formulations for the
unit commitment (UC) problem. UC formulations have been an especially active area of …

In power system studies the unit commitment problem (UC) is solved to support market
decisions and assess system adequacy. Simplifications are made to solve the UC faster, but …

The coordinated operation of different energy systems, such as electrical, gas, and heating,
can improve the efficiency of the whole energy system and facilitate the larger penetration of …

Ghana is one of the few countries within the sub-Saharan region which has been successful
in reducing energy poverty. However, ensuring energy security, affordability, and …

Electricity markets worldwide allow participants to bid non-convex production offers. While
non-convex offers can more accurately reflect a resource's capabilities, they create …

Purpose of review This paper reviews optimization models for integrating battery energy
