This article discusses the development, by a Florida utility, of an extensive unit commitment program. This program accounts for and optimizes external power purchases and gas-oil allocation/schedules, while accounting for area security constraints (transmission and generation), gas transmission constraints, unit availability and other operating constraints. This article describes experience with the program in an operating environment, and is divided into two sections: solving the unit commitment problem - a description of the enhancements and the reasons for them and evaluation of the solution - economic evaluation of the extensive unit commitment program.
