5.Conclusions
In this paper, based on the analysis of different generation costs, the marginal costs are included in the conventional unit commitment problem. Meanwhile, in order to enhance the computational efficiency, the simplified models are derived based on the reasonable assumptions in generation mix. By using the simplified models, the model accuracy and the computational efficiency can be enhanced, as demonstrated in the numerical experiment.
