  • POWER GENERATION SCHEDULING OPTIMIZATION
    Publication number: 20200051183
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of unit scheduling optimization for a hydroelectric plant in a bilateral market includes: minimizing flow of water through the hydroelectric plant to meet a generation schedule, wherein integer linear programming is used for the minimizing and a set of constraints used for the minimizing includes a minimum dissolved oxygen concentration downstream of the hydroelectric plant. The minimum dissolved oxygen concentration downstream of the hydroelectric plant may be at least 6.0 milligrams per liter. The hydroelectric plant may include at least two turbines disposed in the flow of water in a cascading arrangement.
