A tight MIP formulation of the unit commitment problem with start-up and shut-down constraints

This paper provides the convex hull description of the single thermal Unit Commitment (UC) problem with the following basic operating constraints: (1) generation limits, (2) start-up and shut-down capabilities, and (3) minimum up and down times. The proposed constraints can be used as the core of an...
