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 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 ...
