Abstract
This chapter helps the students to identify problems related to power systems operation. It also helps the students to link mathematical optimization models to power systems operation problems. The chapter presents four common types of mathematical optimization models: linear programming, mixed-integer linear programming, non-linear programming, and mixed-integer nonlinear programming. The chapter discusses the details of continuous models. It covers one of the most classic problems in power systems operation that is the economic and environmental dispatch of thermal units. The chapter discusses hydrothermal dispatch problems, and describes one of the most important tools for the analysis of power systems: optimal power flow. It provides the information on binary problems in power systems operation that include unit commitment and phase balancing. The chapter also discusses the real-time implementation of operation models.
