	%X An effort to develop a unit commitment approach
capable of handling large power systems consisting of both thermal
and hydro generating units offers a large profitable return. In order to
be feasible, the method to be developed must be flexible, efficient
and reliable. In this paper, various proposed methods have been
described along with their strengths and weaknesses. As all of these
methods have some sort of weaknesses, a comprehensive algorithm
that combines the strengths of different methods and overcomes each
other-s weaknesses would be a suitable approach for solving
industry-grade unit commitment problem.
