In response to the challenges brought by uncertain bus load and volatile wind power to power system security, this paper presents a novel unit commitment formulation based on interval number optimization to improve the security as well as economy of power system operation. By using full-scenario analysis, the worst-case impact of volatile node injection on unit commitment is acquired, so that the proposed model can always provide a secure and economical unit commitment result to the operators. Scenarios generation and reduction method based on interval linear programming theory are used to accelerate the solution procedure without loss of optimality. Benders decomposition is also implemented to reduce the complexity of this large-scale interval mixed integer linear programming, and prove the rationality and rigor of our proposed method. The numerical results indicate better secure and economical features of the proposed method comparing with the traditional one. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
