Applying Global Optimization to a Problem in Short-Term Hydrothermal Scheduling

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Nonconvex Optimization and Its Applications ((NOIA,volume 77))

Abstract

A method for modeling a real constrained optimization problem as a reverse convex programming problem has been developed from a new procedure of representation of a polynomial function as a difference of convex polynomials. An adapted algorithm, which uses a combined method of outer approximation and prismatical subdivisions, has been implemented to solve this problem. The solution obtained with a local optimization package is also included and their results are compared.
