Further Discussions on Sufficient Conditions for Exact Relaxation of Complementarity Constraints for Storage-Concerned Economic Dispatch

Storage-concerned economic dispatch (ED) problems with complementarity constraints are strongly non-convex and hard to solve because traditional Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions do not hold in this condition. In our recent paper, we proposed a new exact relaxation method which directly removes the complementarity constraints from the model to make it convex and easier to solve. This paper further extends our previous study, with more than one group of sufficient conditions that guarantee the exact relaxation presented, proven and discussed. This paper may contribute to wider application of the exact relaxation in storage-concerned ED problems.
