A Solution to the Unit Commitment Problem Considering LNG Fuel Constraints

摘要

In this paper, an algorithm is proposed for finding a quasi-optimal schedule for the short-term thermal unit commitment problem taking LNG fuel constraints into account. In recent years, LNG fuel has been used increasingly. As a result, LNG fuel constraints should be considered in Making a unit commitment schedule. Generally, unit com- Mitment is a nonlinear combinatorial problem including Discrete variables. To solve the problem, a two-step algo- Rithm is developed using mathematical programming meth- Ods.
