Maintenance planning for hydropower plants is a crucial problem. In this paper, we evaluate the impact of the Hydropower Production Function (HPF) formulatio...

We are interested in blackbox optimization for which the user is aware of monotonic behaviour of some constraints defining the problem. That is, when incr...

Maintenance of power generators is essential for reliable and efficient electricity production. Because generators under maintenance are typically inactive, ...

Maintenance activities help prevent costly generator breakdowns but because generators under maintenance are typically unavailable, the impact of maintenance...

Stochastic Dynamic Programming (SDP) is a powerful approach applicable to nonconvex and stochastic stagewise problems. We investigate the impact of the form...

The authors investigate the complexity needed in the structure of the scenario trees to maximize energy production in a rolling-horizon framework. Three comp...

This paper presents an optimization method to solve the short-term unit commitment and loading problem with uncertain inflows. A scenario tree is built base...

This paper presents a new method for solving the short-term unit commitment and loading problem of a hydropower system. Dynamic programming is used to comput...
