Wind-solar-hydrothermal dispatch using convex optimization

In this research a convex optimization methodology is proposed for the Shortterm hydrothermal scheduling (STHS). In addition, wind and solar generation are also considered under a robust approach by modeling the equilibrium of power flow constraint as chance box constraints, which allows determining the amount of renewable source available with a specific probability value. The proposed methodology guarantees global optimum of the convexified model andfast convergences..

The Optimization of Power Dispatch for Hydro-thermal Power Systems

AbstractA model in power market for hydro-thermal-nuclear power system has been proposed in this paper. Nuclear units, hydropower units and coal-fired power units are considered to have the renewable energy best used. The model contains two sub-models: Model1 and Model2. Model1 is used to solve the problem of allocating hydro loads and thermal loads, while Model2 is used to solve the problem of optimal power dispatch within hydro units and coal-fired units. Simulation and sensitivity analysis have been done in a case study. The results reveil that the proposed model is correct and the solution approach is effective
