An Enriched Mixed Combinatorial Optimization Model to Manage the Hydrothermal Dispatch for the Río Negro Hydroelectric Complex
摘要
Abstract
This article elaborates a practical mixed-integer programming (MIP) formulation for addressing the short-term hydrothermal coordination (STHTC) in Uruguay, a country with highly diversified energy mix, where renewable sources typically supply over 95% of the national electricity demand. The model is implemented and tested on a set of instances based on real data and national regulations. The results evince that using a standard solver to address these instances is a highly efficient approach, yielding near-optimal solutions within minutes while accurately capturing the nonlinearities of hydroelectric production and the detailed structure of the cost formation process.
