Analysis and optimization of systems, Proc. 6th int. Conf., Nice 1984, Part 1, Lect. Notes Control Inf. Sci. 62, 116-126 (1984).
Summary: [For the entire collection see Zbl 0538.00036.]
An extension of the generalized Benders decomposition approach to solve the operation problem of electric power systems with thermal generation is proposed. The resulting minimal operation/start-up cost problem is partitioned into an economic dispatch problem and a pure integer non- linear programming problem. Some results regarding a numerical example are provided. Also, a multicriteria problem is defined in order to take into account a stochastic model for the electric demand.
