Multi-area unit commitment via sequential method and a DC power flow network model

This paper presents a multi-area unit commitment method based on the sequential commitment procedure that resembles "bidding". Instead of the linear flow network representation usually used in multi-area production simulations, the proposed method employs a DC power flow model to represent the inter-area transmission network. In this paper, the proposed method is outlined and illustrated via sample application results.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
