Thermal Problem

subject to:

1) the generation capacity of each generator;

2) the minimum stable generation (MSG) constraints of

each generator;

3) the minimum on and off times for a generator;

4) the dynamic constraints on ramping up and down

generating units;

5) zonal transmission constraints;

6) a daily energy budget for hydro units generated from

the hydro sub- problem;

7) demand must be satisfied;

8) the constraints of what must be running at the end of the

period.
