This paper presents a generalized mixed logical dynamical (MLD) approach for modelling thermal units. A self-scheduling problem is formulated for a thermal unit including an accurate model of its start-up and shutdown power trajectories. This optimal self-scheduling problem is solved in a Model Pred...
