This book presents recent developments in the functionality of generation unit commitment (UC) models and algorithms for solving those models.  These developments, the subject of a September  1999 workshop, are driven by institutional  changes that  increase the  importance of efficient and market responsive operation. We illustrate these developments by demonstrating the use of mixed  integer programming (MIP) to solve a UC problem. The dramatically lower solution times of modem MIP software indicates that it is now a practical algorithm for UC.  Participants in the workshop also prioritized the features that need to be considered by UC models, along with  topics for research and development. Among the highest  research  priorities  are: market simulation; bid selection;  reliability and  reserve constraints; and fair processes for choosing from alternative near-optimal solutions. The chapter closes with an overview of the contributions of the other chapters.
