چکیده

The paper describes the use of an advanced optimization tool for short term scheduling of hydro power systems. The tool takes into account mixed-integer formulation and hence, startup costs for the start-up of units can be accounted for. The goal has been to quantify the improvements in cost reduction by using such a tool, and to see how this will influence upon the daily production planning. The analyses are made from a postspot-view, meaning that the spot market has been cleared and the selling and buying volumes for the next day are given. The problem formulation will then be to cover the load obligations for the next day, given a cost minimizing objective, all relevant constraints taken into account. The analyses show a potential for significant cost reduction. This cost reduction is mainly due to improved total efficiency, and a more optimal dispatch and a reduction in start and stop costs.

Optimal Short-Term Coordination of Desalination, Hydro and Thermal Units

The fossil fuels consumption is rapidly growing due to increased water and electricity demands. An interconnected water-energy nexus is generally composed of thermal power plants, combined potable water and power (CWP) generation units, and desalination only processes. Hence, participation of hydro power plants in electricity generation facilities not only reduces the total fuel consumption of ...

Optimal Adjustment of Three-Term Controller and Two-Term Compensator Performances in Hydro Power Systems for Load Frequency Control

An important issue with respect to the hydraulic power systems is the frequency stabilization. To design Load Frequency Control (LFC) with high efficiency, control parameters need to be adjusted so that the system frequency remains stable even under changeable conditions. Controlling the frequency and changes in the turbine time constant requires that three term control parameters of Proportion...
