A new method for unit commitment at Electricite de France

Journal Article · · IEEE Trans. Power Appar. Syst.; (United States)
;

Unit commitment is a complex problem which, until now and for real size systems, has been solved using heuristic methods only. This paper proposes a new Lagrangian relaxation method, which produces epsilon - optimal solutions. The flexibility of the algorithm is such that numerous developments can be envisaged, such as simultaneous management of pumping units, probabilistic determination of the spinning reserve, etc.
