Abstract: | Osaka Gas Co., Ltd., jointly with NTT DATA Mathematical Systems Inc., has developed unit‐commitment model for optimizing dispatch of power generation units. Main purpose of this development is to simulate the future world of electric power system in accordance with national energy policy aiming to introduce large amount of renewable energy as well as vitalized cross‐border power exchange via PX market to enhance economically‐efficient power system operation. The model incorporates not only constraints of supply‐demand balance but also constraints of operating reserves, regulation reserves, maximum CO2‐emissions, etc. |
