| )::OrderedDict{Tuple{String,Int},Float64} |
|
|
| Calculates the approximate extended locational marginal prices of the given unit commitment instance. |
|
|
| The AELPM does the following three things: |
|
|
| 1. It sets the minimum power output of each generator to zero |
| 2. It averages the start-up cost over the offer blocks for each generator |
| 3. It relaxes all integrality constraints |
|
|
| Returns a dictionary mapping `(bus_name, time)` to the marginal price. |
|
|
| WARNING: This approximation method is not fully developed. The implementation is based on MISO Phase I only. |
|
|
| 1. It only supports Fast Start resources. More specifically, the minimum up/down time has to be zero. |
| 2. The method does NOT support time-varying start-up costs. |
| 3. An asset is considered offline if it is never on throughout all time periods. |
| 4. The method does NOT support multiple scenarios. |
|
|
| Arguments |
| --------- |
|
|
| - `model`: |
| the UnitCommitment model, must be solved before calling this function if offline participation is not allowed. |
|
|
| - `method`: |
| the AELMP method. |
|
|
| - `optimizer`: |
| the optimizer for solving the LP problem. |
|
|
| Examples |
| -------- |
