I have a question regarding the handling of start-up costs in
Matpower v 3.0. I've noticed it doesn't account for them in the
objective function when using the OPF. I also do not think they are
taken into account when doing the unit-decommitment. If I'm
correct, I'm not sure why they are included in Matpower.
Is there a way to include them?
It is true that the start-up costs are not used by any of the
algorithms in MATPOWER. I suppose you could modify the unit-
decommitment code in uopf.m to include them if you like.
