Power System Operation and Optimization Models

This chapter introduces the power system operation and its optimization models, as well as the engineering practice. Firstly, an overview and the framework of the power system operation are introduced. Then, two basic optimization models for power system operation decision‐making are introduced, including unit commitment (UC) and optimal power flow (OPF), as well as their security‐constrained formulations. These optimization models serve as the base for the stability‐constrained power system operation and planning methods in the subsequent chapters. Finally, the engineering practice for power system operation and management is introduced.
