Stochastic scheduling and control with applications to power system unit commitment. Final report
The development of analytical tools for the treatment of stochastic scheduling and control problems is the subject of this report. We are primarily concerned with the theory of such problems, especially with the use of optimality conditions called variational inequalities for the treatment of scheduling problems; however, there are two chapters on numerical methods for stochastic scheduling and control. An effective, albeit ad hoc method for unit commitment (generator startup and shutdown) scheduling of electric energy production systems is presented. The method is capable of scheduling the unit commitment, including economic dispatch, of a system of more than 40 power generators with an energy storage facility in a matter of seconds on a standard mini-computer.
