TY - JOUR T1 - Influence of Transition Cost on Optimal Operation of Power Generation Systems Respecting Unit Commitment Procedures AU - , Imad H. Ibrik JO - Asian Journal of Information Technology VL - 3 IS - 1 SP - 35 EP - 42 PY - 2004 DA - 2001/08/19 SN - 1682-3915 DO - ajit.2004.35.42 UR - https://makhillpublications.co/view-article.php?doi=ajit.2004.35.42 KW - AB - The daily unit commitement is an important part of the short-term operation planning of electrical power systems. Its objective is to solve the problem of deciding which units should be on-line in each time interval and at what level they should be operated during a day to minimize the total operation costs taking into consideration many technical and energy constraints. This paper describes the design criteria of a software package for control of power generation system. The software package modeling the process of commitment unit takes into considertion the short-term load forecasts and transition cost which determines when the units are scheduled to be ON or OFF to satisfy the operating needs of the system.
