As the size of an electric power system grows, the economic significance of power generation scheduling becomes more and more apparent. A proper schedule for the generation of electricity will also ensure the reliability of a power system and extend the operational lives of its constituent units. This paper provides a review of the existing techniques for schduling the power generation in an electric power system which consists of various types of generating units. First, power generation scheduling problem will be presented and its economic importance will be discussed. Then, the application of different techniques such as Priority Lists Scheme, Dynamic Programming, Mixed Interger Programming, Benders' Decomposition and Lagrangian Relaxation in solving this problem will be described. Also, computational advantages and shortcomings of each technique will be discussed. Finally, our experience in advancing the state-of-art, and improving the scheduling process for a large power system will be presented.
