Unit commitment : tight formulation and pricing
… increasing renewable supply variability, thermal power plants have started up and shut down more frequently. These discrete commitment decisions, optimized in the unit commitment (UC) problem, have an impact on system operations as well as generation expansion planning (GEP). The non-convex costs …

New techniques for the analysis of flexible operation of gas turbine based systems
In the current European energy market, gas power plants are required to operate in cyclical modes to fill the gaps in renewable energy supply. Renewable sources have dispatch priority due to their relatively low variable operational costs. However, because of their high unpredictability, …
