Unit Commitment Consider the following problem

Unit Commitment Consider the following problem: There are two generators in this system and there is a load of 1,000MW. There is only one node in this network. Variables: P1 : Real power generated by generator 1 P2 : Real power generated by generator 2 U1: Unit commitment (binary) variable representing the status of generator 1 (U = 1: On, U = 0: off) U2 : Unit commitment (binary) variable representing the status of generator 1 (U = 1: On, U = 0: off) Costs: The total cost of Generator 1 is: 20P1 + 8000U1 The total cost of Generator 2 is: 35P2 + 2000U2 a.
