Ensuring the safe operation of hydropower stations is one of the key challenges for electric generation. Clearly the safe operation of such systems can only be archived with proper and effective maintenance scheduling. The objective of this study is to analyze, rank and prioritize the risk factors r...

The short-term hydro scheduling (STHS) problem aims at determining the optimal power generation schedules for either a single hydropower plant or an integrated system of cascaded watercourses during a time horizon from a single day to one week. Traditionally, an aggregated plant concept is usually a...

In this paper, we show how progressive hedging may be used to solve stochastic programming problems that involve cross-scenario inequality constraints. In contrast, standard stochastic programs involve cross-scenario equality constraints that describe the non-anticipative nature of the optimal solut...

In this paper we investigate the use of marginal cost curves for bidding and offering electricity in a continuous intraday market. Due to the real-time nature of the market, trading decisions must be supported in a computationally efficient manner. Taking the view of a price-taking hydropower produc...
