This paper presents a static generation expansion planning formulation in which operational and investment decisions for a wide range of technologies are co-optimized from a centralized perspective. The location, type and quantity of new generation and storage capacities are provided such that system demand and flexibility requirements are satisfied. Depending on investments in new intermittent renewables (wind, PV), the flexibility requirements are adapted in order to fully capture RES…

Do unit commitment constraints affect generation expansion planning? A scalable stochastic model

A centralized network-constrained generation expansion planning model incorporating UC constraints is developed, which considers start-up and shut-down costs, minimum production level and hourly ramping limits of conventional units, and is modeled through a set of scenarios.

Impact of unit commitment constraints on generation expansion planning with renewables

Growing use of renewables pushes thermal generators against operating constraints — e.g. ramping, minimum output, and operating reserves — that are traditionally ignored in expansion planning models.…
