Abstract

Short-term hydropower generation with several water reservoirs requires deciding, for each moment in time, the volume of water (flow) that is released from every reservoir to be turbined and generate energy. Knowing the price of energy at every hour, the objective is to maximize the income earned from the generated energy. We present a PSO for solving the problem and compare it with a MILP model.
