Optimization of a Pumped-Storage Fixed-Head Hydroplant: The Bang-Singular-Bang Solution
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the problem of the optimization of the functioning of a pumped-storage hydroplant. The problem can be mathematically formulated as an optimal control problem, and when the considered hydromodel is of the fixed-head type, an added complication arises: the solution is of the bangsingular-bang type. In this paper, we propose a simple and efficient optimization algorithm to find the solution.

This paper deals with the optimal control problem that arise when a hydraulic system with fixed-head hydroplants is considered. In the frame of a deregulated electricity market the resulting Hamiltonian for such systems is linear in the control variable and results in an optimal singular/bang-bang control policy. To avoid difficulties associated with the computation of optimal singular/bang-ban...
