Fuel Scheduling and Unit Commitment Problem (FUEL)


Fuel scheduling and unit commitment addresses the problem of
fuel supply to plants and determining on/off status of units
simultaneously to minimize total operating cost.
The present problem: there are two generating units to
meet a total load over a 6-hour period. One of the unit is oil-based
and has to simultaneously meet the storage requirements, flow rates
etc. There are limits on the generation levels for both the units.
