Introduction to Programming in GAMS

The General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS) is a modeling tool for mathematical programming and optimization purpose. This chapter provides the instruction on different programming elements in GAMS. It can be used in solving different types of optimization problems. Some basic optimization models used in power system literature are described in this chapter.
