ABSTRACT: Combined cycle plants (CCs) are broadly used all over the world. The
inclusion of CCs into the optimal resource scheduling causes difficulties
because they can be operated in different operating configuration modes based
on the number of combustion and steam turbines. In this paper a
model CCs based on a mixed integer linear programming approach to be included
into an optimal short term resource optimization problem is presented. The
proposed method allows modeling of CCs in different modes of operation taking
into account the non convex operating costs for the different combined cycle
mode of operation.
