Optimal unit commitment by branch-and-bound exploiting dual optimization conditions

From MaRDI portal





The authors consider the unit commitment problem in combination with the economic dispatch problem as the following nonlinear mixed integer mathematical programming problem NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \min\limits_{p,u}[\sum\limits_{i=1}^{I}\sum\limits_{k=1}^{K}(\alpha_ {k}^{2}(p_{i,k})^2+ \alpha_{k}^{1}p_{i,k}+ \alpha_{k}^{0})u_{i,k}+\sum\limits_{i=1}^{I}\sum\limits_{k=1}^{K}( 1-u_{i-1,k})u_{i,k}\gamma_{k}] NEWLINE\]NEWLINE NEWLINE\[NEWLINE s.t.\quad \sum\limits_{k=1}^{K}p_{i,k}=p_{i,D};\;\sum\limits_{k=1}^{K}\bar p_{k}u_{i,k}\geq p_{i,R};\;\underline{p}_{k}u_{i,k}\leq p_{i,k}\leq\bar p_{k}u_{i,k};\;u_{i,k}\in\{0,1\}, NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(p_{i,k}\) is the power production for unit \(k\) in time interval \(i\); \(u_{i,k}=1\) if unit \(k\) is producing in time interval \(i\) and \(u_{i,k}=0\) if not producing; \((\alpha_{k}^{2}(p_{i,k})^2+ \alpha_{k}^{1}p_{i,k}+ \alpha_{k}^{0})u_{i,k},\;\alpha_{k}^{2}>0\) is the cost for producing power in a production unit; \((1-u_{i-1,k})u_{i,k}\gamma_{k}\) is the start-up cost, \(p_{i,D}\) is the power demand and \(p_{i,R}\) is the reserve requirement. In this paper the branch-and-bound algorithm is presented. Applying the Lagrangian relaxation the convex but non-smooth dual problem is obtained. The lower bounds on the optimal function value are computed from the dual objective function. Some computational results are also given.
