To ensure the sufficient utilization of renewable energy, the reasonable arrangement for the long-term power generation plan has become more crucial. Security-constrained unit commitment(SCUC) is a critical technical means to optimize the long-term power generation plan. However, the plentiful power sources and the complex grid structure in largescale power systems will bring great difficulties to long-term SCUC. In this paper, we propose a fast calculation method for long-term SCUC of large-scale power systems with renewable energy. First, a method for unit status reduction based on temporal decomposition is proposed, which will reduce plenty of binary variables and intertemporal constraints in SCUC. Then,an efficient redundant constraint identification(RCI) method is developed to reduce the number of network constraints. Furthermore, a joint accelerated calculation framework for status reduction and RCI is formed, which can reduce the complexity of long-term SCUC while ensuring a high-precision feasible solution. In case studies, numerical results based on two test systems ROTS2017 and NREL-118 are analyzed, which verify the effectiveness and scalability of the proposed calculation method.展开更多
