The generation of a hydroelectric plant is a nonlinear function of the turbined outflow, storage
and sometimes also of the spillage. Other aspects, such as forbidden operating zones and …

The weekly hydrothermal dispatch and spot pricing of the Brazilian power system are
officially obtained using a large-scale stochastic programming model called DECOMP. This …

This paper proposes a dynamic piecewise linear model to represent dc transmission losses
in optimal scheduling problems. An iterative procedure is proposed, where the linear cuts to …

Hydropower generation is a function of the discharge of the generating units and the difference
between the forebay and tailrace levels of the reservoir, and is subject to penstock head …

Recently, there has been a growing need to consider issues related to multiple uses of water-such
as navigation, fishing, or recreation-in the operation planning of electrical power …

Multistage Benders decomposition (MSBD), also known as dual dynamic programming, is a
well-established technique to solve hydrothermal scheduling problems, especially for …

This paper concerns the assessment of two methods for convex relaxation of the short-term
hydrothermal scheduling problem. The problem is originally formulated as a mixed integer …

Optimizing power generation planning is very important to achieve the lowest possible costs
while meeting the required power demand along time. High computational resources are …

This work proposes the modeling and application of the so-called “multi-hydro plants” for the
stochastic mid-term hydrothermal planning problem. The approach consists of aggregating …
