ABSTRACT

Section 3 describes HS algorithm. A case is studied in section 4. Section 5 draws the conclusion.

2 PROBLEM FORMULATION

The time span of the day is subdivided into 24 equal hourly intervals and the load is assumed to remain constant over each interval. The reservoir inflows, correction factors for head variations and generating units available for scheduling each interval are assumed as deterministically known. In all hydro plants, evaporation, water travel time and spill over of water in the hydro reservoirs are neglected.
