Abstract :
This paper presents a computer application to solve a unit commitment problem and achieve optimal generation dispatch to maximize the hydro-based electricity producers´ total profits by a day-ahead bid scheduling in a restructured power market, while maintaining the system security and reliability. With the consideration of transmission security, this procedure is able to aid the producers to develop more reliable power interchange schedules with their external power market.
