Simultaneous Implementation of TOU and UC Programs Considering Wind Power with MILP Method

The growing need of energy sources، especially in industrial countries and the shortage of the fossil resources cause a great concern in many countries. By considering the fact that the energy price is increased during the day، using the demand side management is getting more important. The major change in demand side management is the consideration of consumers'' responses to energy price variations. This paper investigates the effect of the demand response implementation on cost reduction in unit commitment considering wind power. Considering that the simultaneous implementation of unit commitment and the use of response programs would be a complex and nonlinear problem that contain continuous and discrete variable، the mixed integer programming is used. The proposed method is simulated in practical system and IEEE RTS 24-bus system and the results are analyzed.
