In this paper introduce a formulation of optimization for natural gas transmission restriction in power system studies. Fuel constraint on power plants is for hourly scheduling and for individual unit and total unit fuel consumptions. This is because natural constraints of gas units are dependent on natural gas transference networks and other additional parameters. Gas flow distribution has a non-linear equation that Heuristic method is proposed to model natural gas network, as well as Security Constrained Unit Commitment (SCUC) is commonly a mixed integer programming. Optimization problem is discussed and implemented to security constrained unit commitment schedule and connection with genetic algorithm. In a case study with a Six-bus system, 7-node gas transmission is studied and compared SCUC with natural gas transmission finiteness with SCUC model
