OPTIMIZING POWER SYSTEM RELIABILITY AND CARBON EMISSIONS WITH A FUZZY UNIT COMMITMENT MODEL INCORPORATING RENEWABLE ENERGY, LOAD FORECAST ERRORS, EV CHARGING, AND ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM

Optimizing Power System Reliability and Carbon Emissions With a Fuzzy Unit Commitment Model Incorporating Renewable Energy, Load Forecast Errors, EV Charging, and Energy Storage System

The increasing use of Renewable Energy (RE), the influence of forecasted load error, and Electric Vehicles (EVs) add significant uncertainty and variables to power system Unit Commitment (UC) planning.For addressing this challenge, this paper proposes a Fuzzy Mathematical Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (FMMILP) approach for daily UC that incorpor
