Electricity is conceivably the most multipurpose energy carrier in modern global economy,
and therefore primarily linked to human and economic development. Energy sector reform is …

This chapter reviews how stochastic dual dynamic programming (SDDP) has been applied
to hydropower scheduling in the Nordic countries. The SDDP method, developed in Brazil …

In this paper, we propose a novel nonlinear approach to solve the short-term hydro
scheduling problem under deregulation, considering head-dependency. The actual size of …

With the fast-growing demand in the electricity market of the last decades, attention has
been focused on alternative and flexible sources of energy such as hydro valleys. Managing …

To model a future power system with high shares of variable renewables, it is essential to
capture the flexibility of dispatchable technologies such as hydropower. However, the …

This paper presents a comparative analysis of different mathematical programming
approaches for optimizing the hydro unit commitment (HUC) problem with cascaded plants …

This paper is on the problem of short-term hydro scheduling, particularly concerning head-
dependent cascaded hydro systems. We propose a novel mixed-integer quadratic …

With the rapid economic growth in recent years, the peak operation of hydropower system
(POHS) is becoming one of the most important optimization problems in power system …

This paper is on the problem of short-term hydro scheduling (STHS), particularly concerning
a head-dependent hydro chain. We propose a novel mixed-integer nonlinear programming …

Increasing environmental restrictions, create stringent regulations for the use and
management of rivers and water bodies, thereby jeopardizing the operational flexibility of …
