  Power-generating ships or Power Ships (PSs) are considered one of the largest
mobile energy resources. In this paper, a model is proposed to evaluate the
integration of PSs into power grid operations. The model optimally coordinates
the ships to enhance the grid objective; its solution provides optimal
generation resource scheduling, as well as optimal scheduling and routing of
the ships. IEEE 6-bus and IEEE 118-bus case studies were considered to model
the system and to validate the effectiveness of the proposed model.
