The implementation of power bidding is an important measure and an inevitable trend in the commercialization of power.

The implementing of electricity bidding is an im portant action during the realization of electricity market.

The linear programming model for solving generation bidding problem is described, and the computing procedure isthen illustrated by means of a two-unit case as an example.

The basic concept of the network flow program ming NFP method including the model and algorithm for dual- NFP and sim plex- NFP in the generation bidding is introduced firstly.

Generally,the dynam ic programm ing method can be used in the generation bidding in order to solve unit com mitm ent and power dispatch problems,in which the start- up cost and start- off constraints can be implemented in unit com mitm ent m odels,while in the power dispatch m odel the dropping characteristics of bidding curve can be handled.
