Abstract: This paper develops a short-term model for the optimal operation of hydropower reservoirs. The model incorporates Muskingum channel routing, flow ramping constraints attributable to navigation requirements, and constraints ...

Abstract: This paper formulates a short-term operation problem to determine the optimal quarter-hourly generation schedules of multiple hydropower reservoirs with pumped-storage plants. The model is a comprehensive one that incorporates ...

Abstract: This paper describes a short-term hydro generation optimization program that is required by Fujian Electric Power Company Ltd. (FEPCL) to maximize hydropower production, given the beginning-of-study content of each reservoir ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the optimization of short-term hydropower scheduling when a mathematically feasible solution cannot be achieved. Generally, the numerical search procedure terminates with the detection of infeasibility ...

Abstract: Units in a hydroplant are usually committed after the operational results are derived for multiple cascaded reservoirs. Such a procedure may make hydro units difficult to harmonize their constraints (e.g., allowable ...
