Mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) is often used for system analysis and optimization as it presents a flexible and powerful method for solving large, complex problems such as the case with ...

Formulating a LP model requires identifying the elements of your problem, such as decision variables (generally denoted by letters like x, y, or z), an objective function (a linear expression that ...

Abstract:This paper presents a new mixed-integer linear formulation for the unit commitment problem of thermal units. The formulation proposed requires fewer binary variables and constraints than ...

This paper proposes a method for establishing unit commitment (UC) problems based on state transitions. Specifically, this paper utilizes states to demonstrate the characteristics of generators, ...

A wide range of problems can be modeled as Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MIP) problems using standard formulation techniques. However, in some cases the resulting MIP can be either too weak or too ...
