Abstract

The problem of determining the optimal operating policy of a multi-reservoir power system is a difficult problem for the following reasons:

  • It has a nonlinear objective function of the discharge and the head which itself is a function of the storage.

  • The production-energy function of the hydroplant is a nonseparable function of the discharge and the head.

  • There are linear constraints on both the state (storage or the head) and decision (release) variables.

  • It is a stochastic problem with respect to the river flows and demand for electricity.
