Integrating PowerWorld and MatLab for Optimal Dispatch and Unit Commitment Study of Competitive Electric Power Markets

摘要: The transition to competitive wholesale and retail markets for electric utilities around the world has been a difficult controversial process. One of difficulties that hindered development growth power market is absence efficient computational tools assist design, analysis operation market. PowerWorld simulator an industry standard software package strong analytical visualization functions suitable extensive flow study large system. However, not designed in such way can be used evaluation This paper investigates mathematical models associated with how these converted transformed makes it possible use optimal dispatch also develops co-simulation mechanism integrate MatLab combined unit commitment study. Finally, demonstrates case
