This paper presents short-term hydro scheduling method for hydrothermal coordination by genetic algorithms. Hydro scheduling problem has many constraints with fixed final reservoir volume. In this paper, the difficult water balance constraints caused by hydraulic coupling satisfied throughout dynamic decoding method. Adaptive penalizing method was also proposed to handle the infeasible solutions that violate various constraints. In this paper, we proposed GA to solve hydrothermal scheduling with appropriate decoding method and dynamic penalty method. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated in the case study.

In this paper, we propose a Probabilistic Tabu Search(PTS) method for hydro-thermal scheduling. Hydro scheduling has many constraints and very difficult to solve the optical schedule because it has many local minima. To solve the problem effectively, the proposed method uses two procedures, one is Tabu search procedure that plays a role in local search, and the other is Restarting procedure that enables to diversify its search region. To adjust Parameters such as a reducing rate and initial searching region, search strategy is selected according to its probability after restarting procedure. Dynamic decoding method was also used to restrict a search region and to handle water balance constraints. In order to show the usefulness of the proposed method, the PTS is applied on two cases which have independent or dependent hydro plants and compared to those of other method. The simulation results show it is very efficient and useful algorithm to solve the hydro-thermal scheduling problem.

In this paper, we propose a Probabilistic Tabu Search(PTS) method for hydro-thermal scheduling.

This paper addresses the bidding strategies of a pumped-storage hydro plant in an electricity market. Competitive bidding of pumping and generating of a pumped-storage plant is formulated in a game theoretic problem in accordance with the three different ownership of scheduling; Market Operator(MO), generating company(Genco), and combined type of MO and Genco. Optimal conditions for Nash Equilibrium are derived in the form of market prices during the scheduling periods. Simulation results show the different ownership models produce different schedules of pumping and generating, which correspond to the objective of the scheduling owner of a pumped-storage hydro plant.

The $CO_2$ emission can be decreased due to freedom of generator maintenance scheduling(GMS). This paper proposes assessment of $CO_2$ emission considering generator maintenance scheduling(GMS) and evaluates effect of the GMS on $CO_2$ emission. And also, this paper assesses the $CO_2$ emission and the probabilistic production cost simulation of nuclear and thermal power generators considering operation of hydro and pumped generator. The minimum reliability criterion level satisfied production cost minimization function model is used in this paper. The practicality and effectiveness of the proposed approach are demonstrated by simulation studies for a real size power system in Korea in 2010.

This paper propose the method combined Priority and Tabu search (TS) for short term hydro-thermal scheduling. We satisfy various conditions using TS, Restarting method is used as diversification strategy of TS to prevent a local convergence. Also, we use Lagrangian method to solve economic dispatch problems.

This paper proposes an efficient method of hydro-thermal scheduling in coordination with head variation and hydraulically coupled plants using Evolutionary Programing(EP). Based on the EP technique, the proposed algorithm is capable of determining the global optimal solutions. The constraints such a power balance condition, water available condition and transmission losses are embedded and satisfied throughout the proposed EP approach. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated on the test systems and compared to those of other method. The results show that the new approach obtains a more highly optimal solutions than the conventional other methods such as newton-raphson method, Dynamic Programming(DP), LU factorization.

This paper presents a dynamic programming sucdessive approximation algorithm for scheduling pumped storage hydro plants and shows how this method can be coordinated with the commitment of the thermal units of the system. The general object of operation of pumped hydrostorage plants is the minimization of the overall production cost and the maximization of generation reserves. The basic procedure used to obtain a combined pumped storage-unit commitment schedule is to execute the pumped storage scheduler and unit commitment scheduler iteratively. A combined DPSA algorithm has been presented to coordinate the scheduling of the pumped storage with the scheduling of the thermal units.
