In this study, combined heat and power units are incorporated in the practical reserve constrained dynamic economic dispatch, which minimizes total production costs considering realistic constraints such as ramp rate limits and valve-point effects over a short time span. The integration of...

Combined heat and power units are playing an ever increasing role in conventional power stations due to advantages such as reduced emissions and operational cost savings. This paper investigates a more practical formulation of the complex non-convex, non-smooth and non-linear multi-objective...
