Key Points

To formulate a computationally efficient mixed-integer linear programming model for thermal unit commitment that significantly decreases variables and constraints.
Formulated a new mixed-integer linear model requiring fewer binary variables and constraints than standard formulations.
Modeled time-dependent startup costs, ramping limits, and minimum up/down time intertemporal constraints.
Tested the formulation on practical large-scale systems using a commercial mixed-integer linear programming solver.
Reduced the total number of binary variables and constraints required to represent the unit commitment problem.
Achieved significant computational savings when solving large-scale practical power system cases.
