Unit commitment optimization of a micro-grid with a MILP algorithm: Role of the emissions, bio-fuels and power generation technology

Management strategies of complex energy systems composed by different technologies is mandatory to exploit optimally the characteristics of each power generator, to reduce the cost of energy, the impact of greenhouse gases emissions and to increase the penetration of mini- and micro-grids into energ...
