A Study on the Weekly Operation planning of pumped Hydrostorage plant Considering Unit Commitment |
| Abstract |
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. |
