Computer-based short-term hydrothermal generation scheduling / Suhaimi Ishak

In this paper, a solution of a short term hydrothermal scheduling is presented by using Computer-Based and software MATLAB. The technique is used to handle the problems of short-term hydrothermal scheduling and economic load dispatch while satisfying and thermal constraints in order to minimize the total system cost. This technique is tested on a system consisting of a hydro plant and a thermal plant and the outputs are obtained by using the X-y iteration. While designing a programming for the hydrothermal scheduling not only using an academic knowledge, but need also other additional knowledge that need to be learn through a traditional method. There are much others additional empirical knowledge that is still missing in the academic knowledge instructions. Therefore, a traditional method and simulation need to be done to learn about the additional knowledge, so that all the procedure can be completed. This paper focuses on the process of aim to provide the basics analytical techniques in order to determine the economic operation schedule of the conventional energy generating plants along with illustrations and discussions.
