Sufficient Conditions of Optimality for Control of Hydro-Electric Power Stations

In this paper we consider a control problem for a cascade of hydro-electric power stations where some of the stations have reversible turbines. The objective of our work is to optimize the profit of power production satisfying restrictions on the water level in the reservoirs. We obtain sufficient c...

Description
Summary:In this paper we consider a control problem for a cascade of hydro-electric power stations where some of the stations have reversible turbines. The objective of our work is to optimize the profit of power production satisfying restrictions on the water level in the reservoirs. We obtain sufficient conditions of optimality and illustrate them with a simple example.
