9. A system for solving a stochastic unit commitment problem using a branch-cut-price algorithm, the system comprising one or more processor units configured for:
-
iteratively generating in a sequential manner a plurality of candidate columns by operating on a restricted master linear problem and a corresponding dual problem; and solving, in parallel for at least two of the candidate columns, a pricing problem. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
