Abstract: In China, new energy is developing rapidly. In recent years, new energy power generation has been installed with explosive growth. However, the coordination problem between new energy penetration capability and the operation mode of the system has not been solved. Especially in the ‘Three North’ areas, new energy is severely limited. As a result, the large-scale new energy medium-term operation optimization algorithm and its parallelization are very urgent. This paper established a mixed integer model for the large-scale new energy medium-term operation problem, and proposed a new method to simplify the 0-1 constraints. Since the most commonly used software has some limitations on solving our mixed integer programming (MIP) problem, we developed a parallel algorithm library (CMIP) V2.0 of our own intellectual-property rights and exploited the parallelism of the algorithm for better performance. Preliminary numerical experiments show that CMIP V2.0 can solve the new energy medium-term operation optimization problem, at least as well as the commercial software CPLEX and the open source software SCIP.
