Summary:This paper proposes the use of a model based on the geometric optimisation (GO) technique of molecular systems to solve the unit commitment problem (UC). To achieve this, the units are modelled as artificial molecules where each atom of those molecules defines a generative unit operation state. To obtain the geometric optimisation and hence the optimisation of the entire generating set, the simulated annealing technique, as an optimisation tool, is selected. The whole model is devised in this paper by having a continuous characteristic rather than the classical formulation of UC. A preliminary application to a 5-unit test system for one hour of operation subject to technical restrictions and initial conditions to each generative unit is shown.
