Resumé	The Fast Decoupled Load Flow (FDLF) method, introduced by Stott and Alsac in 1972, exploits the weak coupling between active and reactive power in power systems to accelerate convergence beyond standard Newton-Raphson. By decoupling the equations and using constant, approximate Jacobians, it reduces computation per iteration while maintaining acceptable accuracy for most practical systems. This method remains widely used in operational software for its speed and numerical stability.	Optimal Power Flow (OPF) is a fundamental optimization framework for computing the most economical and secure operating point of an electrical power system. Introduced by Jean Carpentier in 1962, OPF minimizes operational costs (fuel, losses, or other expenses) while satisfying physical and operational constraints. Modern electric grids depend on OPF for real-time economic dispatch, security analysis, and planning, making it one of the most important problems in power systems engineering.	Unit Commitment (UC) is the problem of deciding which power generation units should be switched on or off over a planning horizon (typically 24-168 hours) to minimize total operating cost while meeting demand and reserve requirements. Introduced by Baldwin et al. in 1959, UC is a fundamental scheduling problem in power system operations, combining combinatorial optimization (which units to commit) with continuous optimization (optimal power output). UC remains one of the most important and computationally challenging problems in power systems.
