Optimization in Planning and Operation of Electric Power Systems: Lecture Notes of the SVOR/ASRO Tutorial Thun, Switzerland, October 14-16, 1992

Permanently increasing requirements in power supply necessitate efficient control of electric power systems. An emerging subject of importance is optimization. Papers on modelling aspects of unit commitment and optimal power flow provide the introduction to power systems control and to its associated problem statement. Due to the nature of the underlying optimization problems recent developments in advanced and well established mathematical programming methodologies are presented, illustrat...
