Lecture Unit Commitment - Numericals

This document discusses optimal system operation for power plants through a multistage process of load forecasting, unit commitment, and economic dispatch. It is not economical to run all power plant units at all times, so unit commitment determines which plants should be online to meet a given load in the most cost-effective way, taking into account the type of plants, maintenance schedules, and other factors. Economic dispatch then determines the optimal output levels of the committed plants. This multistage process aims to ensure reliable and cost-efficient electricity supply.
