For this problem, it is important to establish the effective model and algorithm. This paper examines the decoupled conditions that affect the solution optimality to this problem. It proposes an effective model and solution method. Based on the look-ahead technique, it finds the number of time intervals to guarantee the solution optimality. Next, an efficient technique for finding the optimal solution via the interior point methods is described. Test cases, which include dispatching six units over 5 time intervals on the IEEE 30 test system with line flows and ramp constraints are presented. Results indicate that the computational effort as measured by iteration counts or execution time varies only modestly with the problem size.展开更多

In this paper, an interior point with cutting plane (IP/CP) method is proposed to solve the mixed-integer optimization problem of the electrical power generation expansion planning. The IP/CP method could improve the overall efficiency of the solution and reduce the computational time. Proposed method is combined with the Bender's decomposition technique in order to decompose the generation expansion problem into a master investment problem and a slave operational problem. The numerical example is presented to compare with the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.展开更多

Search directions and proximity function are proposed based on a new kernel function which includes neither growth term nor barrier term. Iteration bounds both for large-and small-update methods are derived, namely, O(nlog(n/c)) and O(√nlog(n/ε)). This new kernel function has simple algebraic expression and the proximity function has not been used before. Analogous to the classical logarithmic kernel function, our complexity analysis is easier than the other pri- mal-dual interior-point methods based on logarithmic barrier functions and recent kernel functions.展开更多
