This paper presents a short-term unit commitment approach that incorporates environmental externalities into electric utility operations decisionmaking. The suggested approach identifies the least cost action for achieving daily or weekly emission targets. The problem formulation includes all standard system constraints, and explicitly addresses variable emission during start-up, operation, and shut-down of electric generating units. The problem is solved using a Lagrangian relaxation-based algorithm which offers a practical approach to the emission constrained unit commitment problem.
