DESCRIPTION:Will provide a high level brief overview of the solutions and a
 lgorithms evolved over the last several decades to solve the short term un
 it scheduling problem. The focus is on the practically most used solutions
  to power systems operations. The discussion will include priority merit l
 ist\, dynamic programming\, Linear Programming\, Lagrangian relaxation\, A
 ugmented Lagrangian relaxation\, and the game changer Mixed Integer Progra
 m (MIP). The mathematical breakthroughs and efficient search algorithms us
 ed in recent MIP commercial solvers made MIP the algorithm of choice widel
 y adopted by the power systems industry to solve such highly complex\, non
 -convex\, and combinatorial optimization problem. The huge reduction in th
 e MIP optimization solution time\, the ease of mathematical constraints mo
 deling\, and the increased solution quality transformed the real-time appl
 ications and made it possible to model large number of complex resources
 ’ types like combined cycle units\, startup times and cost\, transition 
 time and cost\, dynamic ramp rates as functions of resources MW. These adv
 ances in MIP made it possible to also include unprecedented large set of c
 ross-resources and cross-time intervals coupling constraints such as trans
 mission\, and environment constraints in optimizing operations in day-ahea
 d and real-time applications.\n\nAs illustrative example\, the presentatio
 n will highlight the current large-scale mathematical MIP model sizes\, so
 lution times\, and the optimal MIP integer gaps achieved in both day-ahead
  and real-time market applications at the California ISO’s production sy
 stem.\n\nHere are the details: [https://ieee-pes.org/calendar/ieee-pes-liv
