We present initial results and description of a method for coupling long term hydro scheduling models to short term hydro schedul- ing models. The method is based on an established approach but extends on the principle to increase the available information of the future estimates provided by the...

We test the stochastic dual dynamic programming (SDDP) approach on a system an order of magnitude larger than previously published studies. The analysis shows that the SDDP-approach can be applied to very large system sizes to solve the hydropower scheduling problem through formal optimisation and...
