Abstract

A medium/long-term hydropower scheduling routinely assumes the energy produced in each week will be fully utilized in peak-shaving the power demands during every day in that week, ignoring the fluctuation of the hourly power loads. This work improves the traditional weekly hydropower scheduling by integrating the hourly power and capacity balances (HPCB), which has rarely been investigated, mainly due to great challenges imposed in solving the model. The HPCB are formulated into mixed integer linear constraints, involving the spare, maintenance, disabled, reserve and working capacities, as well as the order and levels of hydroplants in peak-shaving the hourly power load curve, all to be optimized. The formulation is then improved with successive strategies in updating water heads and peak-shaving hours, aiming to boost the solution efficiency by excluding more binary variables. The case studies involving 6 cascaded hydropower reservoirs in Lancang River reveal that the traditional weekly hydropower scheduling overestimates the benefits significantly, strongly suggesting the necessity to include the HPBC into a long/mid-term hydropower scheduling. The experiments also recommend an improved model formulation that achieves very consistent results on the top three prioritized objectives, while taking less than 0.1 s to solve the problem involving all six cascaded reservoirs, demonstrating a great prospect in solving problems in large scale.
