• Unit Commitment is the process of turning on (committing) resources to meet load and other market requirements
• Security-Constrained Unit Commitment (SCUC) commits units while respecting limitations of the transmission system and unit operating characteristics

Gen4 – Gen2 – Gen5 – Gen1 – Gen3

• SCED follows unit commitment and determines the level at which each committed resource should be operated
‒ Hourly solution interval in DA
‒ 5 minute solution interval in RT

• SCED, like SCUC, enforces the “security” aspects of the transmission grid
• SCED must also consider operational limitations of generating plants, which may be different than limitations in SCUC
‒ Ramp limitations are important
‒ Start-up costs no longer a factor

Generation Dispatch
Generation is economically dispatched to meet the
demand across the entire RTO at the lowest cost

SCUC and SCED with Operating Parameters
12/06/2016 PJM©2016 15
• SCUC and SCED become extremely complex with the addition of operating parameters
• Resources that may, on the surface, appear to be attractive to the optimization may contribute significantly to total bid production cost
• Optimization software may need to test several different scenarios to determine the least cost solution and still reliably meet demand

• We know from the earlier example that Gen3 must be on-line to serve load in the congested area
• The question becomes which Area 1 units to commit to serve up to 600MW demand (200 local + 400 transfer)
‒ Will now need to consider start-up costs as part of the total production cost

• Note that you will only end up dispatching Gen3 for 200MW of its 400MW available
• Would it be cheaper to use all 400MW from Gen3 and only transfer 200MW instead of 400MW?
SCUC/SCED - Advanced Example
Resource MW $/MWh Startup BPC
Gen5 100 40 1,000$ $5,000
Gen2 300 30 1,000$ $10,000
Gen1 200 50 1,000$ $11,000
Gen4 0 10 -$ $0
Gen3 200 80 6,000$ $22,000
$48,000
As it stands now….. Gen1 ($11,000) + Gen2 ($10,000) + Gen5 ($5,000) + Gen3 for 200MW ($22,000) = $48,000
Alt Option 1: All energy from Gen2/Gen5/Gen3 = $53,000 Alt Option 2: Gen1/Gen5/partial Gen2/full Gen3 = $58,000

SCED - Advanced Exercise

• Problem: There is an increase in demand of 100MW from one hour to the next
• The generators on the next slide have to serve that additional load, but some have restrictions
• What units can fully serve the additional 100MW?
• What units will the optimization select?

SCUC/SCED Exercise Comments
12/06/2016 PJM©2016 23
• This was a difficult exercise that shows the complexity of SCUC and SCED and the reason why software calculations may be time consuming
• This exercise may also help demonstrate why some generators may or may not have been committed
• Complexity increases with additional parameters, transmission limits, generators, etc.
