Abstract: In this study, a stochastic Unit Commitment (UC) problem is described and formulated where the wind uncertainty is captured by simulating a certain number of scenarios. Because the large number of scenarios dramatically increases computational complexity, this work proposes a matheuristic method to reduce the number of variables and the combinatorial search space of the UC. This hybrid method employs the greedy randomized adaptive search procedure (GRASP) to obtain a reduced UC before conducting a MILP algorithm. This search space reduction strategy will result in faster convergence of the MILP solver and potentially a better solution for the UC.
