The realistic power systems include several types of controllers in transmission lines,
different types of energy storage systems (ESSs), and integration of various renewable …

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 …

This paper summarizes the technical activities of the IEEE Task Force on Solving Large
Scale Optimization Problems in Electricity Market and Power System Applications. This Task …

Day-Ahead Unit Commitment (UC) is an important problem faced by Independent System
Operators (ISOs). Midcontinent ISO as the largest ISO in US, solves a complicated UC …

This paper proposes a hybrid combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) model for day-ahead
market clearing, in order to enhance the operation flexibility of CCGTs in practice. The …

Due to the fast response capabilities, combined-cycle units could provide valuable
flexibilities to cope with uncertainties from the renewable energy resources. However …

This paper examines the incentives for efficient pricing mechanism in markets with non-
convexities. The wholesale electricity market is a prominent example. Ideally, an efficient …

Pumped storage hydro units (PSHU) can provide flexibility to power systems. This becomes
particularly valuable in recent years with the increasing shares of intermittent renewable …

This paper discusses several methods to improve commercial optimization solver
performance on day-ahead security constrained unit commitment through warm start and …

This paper introduces a market economics based neighborhood search and polishing
algorithm to solve security constrained unit commitment (SCUC). The algorithm adaptively …
