Abstract
Generation scheduling is a crucial challenge in power systems especially under new environment of liberalization of electricity industry. This paper is focused on the economical aspect of UC problem, while the next load demand as a very important issue and prohibited operation zones and spinning reserve uncertainty as practical constraints have been taken in to account. The impacts of hot/cold start-up cost have been considered in this paper. Numerical results show a significant improvement in the solutions of a cost-based unit commitment in comparison with the other studies.
