UNIT COMMITMENT OF DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES IN DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS USING THE DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING METHOD.

The integration of renewable energy sources into the distribution networks improves the reliability of power supply, providing clean energy which does not cause pollution. However, the proper unit commitment of the available distributed energy resources helps to decrease the costs for their generation. This paper proposes a method for the unit commitment of RES without storage system based on dynamic programming. The method considers the costs for each RES power generated, depending on their availability at the moment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
