With the fast-paced changing technologies in the power industry, new power references addressing these new technologies are coming to the market. So there is an urgent need to keep a track of international experiences and activities taking place in the field of modern unit commitment problem under deregulated environment. This paper gives a review and general backgrounds of research and developments in the field of unit commitment problem based on many published articles and Web-sites. The collected literatures have been divided into many section, so that new researchers do not face any difficulty in carrying out research in the area of next-generation unit commitment problem.
