Constraints
Minimum Up time
This constraint signifies the minimum time for which a committed unit
should be turned on.
Note : once the unit is running, it cannot be turned off immediately.

where r = t + 1, ..., t 1, t T , i I .
t = 1, ..., |T |, T is the time horizon committed.

Constraints
This constraint signifies the minimum time for which a de-committed unit
should be turned off.
Note : Once the unit is de-committed, there is a minimum time before it
can be recommitted.

where r = t + + 1, ..., t 1, t T , i I .
t = 1, ..., |T |, T is the time horizon committed.
i = 1, ..., |I |, I is the number of units.

The high dimensionality and combinatorial nature of the unit commitment
problem curtail attempts to develop any rigorous mathematical
optimization method capable of solving the whole problem for any real-size
system.
