Abstract

An extension of the generalized Benders decomposition approach to solve the operation problem of electric power systems with thermal generation is proposed. The resulting minimal operation/start-up cost problem is partitioned into an economic dispatch problem and a pure integer non-linear programming problem. Some results regarding a numerical example are provided. Also, a multicriteria problem is defined in order to take into account a stochastic model for the electric demand.
