Water is scarce resource with uncertain availability. Hence finding an optimal production schedule for hydro producer is usually a complex task and it is necessary to carefully balance the timing of water use. This paper addresses the selfscheduling problem for a price-taker hydro producer. The goal is maximizing the profit of a hydro producer through participating in the day-ahead energy and a...

In this paper, an artificial-based optimizes and analysis of an optimal proportional, integral, derivative (PID) controller is introduced for a hydro-turbine generator governor. The main purpose, optimization PID controller parameters of hydro-turbine connected to the network for damping output frequency oscillation. In The proposed approach, an optimal and evolutionary based proportional, inte...

The paper addresses the unit commitment problem in power plant operation planning. For a real power system comprising coal and gas red thermal as well as pumped storage hydro plants a large-scale mixed integer optimization model for unit commitment is developed. Then primal and dual approaches to solving the optimization problem are presented and results of test runs are reported.

The energy demand in the World is increasing day by day due to rapidly increasing population and advancement in science and technology. But in present era there are too many obstacles which decrease the consumption of electricity for common peoples, high cost of fuel, high demand and low supply of fuel. Fuels like coal, petroleum, CNG, LPG, nuclear energy are depleting day by day and also degra...

This study addresses a stochastic structure for generation companies (GenCoʼs) that participate in hydro-thermal self-scheduling with a wind power plant on short-term scheduling for simultaneous reserve energy and energy market. In stochastic scheduling of HTSS with a wind power plant, in addition to various types of uncertainties such as energy price, spinning /non-spinning reserve prices, unc...

This work analyses the configuration and operation principles of hybrid wind-hydro power plants with pumped storage integrated into autonomous electric grid systems, in order to support high wind energy penetration. The plant consists of wind generation units, combined with a pumped-hydro storage system. It operates on a daily basis, storing the surplus wind production by pumping water in an el...
