Generation scheduling is a most important task in the operation and planning of power system. It can be on real term, short term, medium term, and long term basis as per the scheduled horizon. Scheduling of purely hydroelectric system differ from the thermal scheduling and hydrothermal scheduling problems in two aspects firstly fuel cost for the thermal part of the system can no longer be used ...

The Endangered Species Act requires actions that improve the passage and survival rates for migrating salmonoids and other fish species that sustain injury and mortality when passing through hydroelectric dams. To develop a low-cost revolutionary acoustic transmitter that may be injected instead of surgically implanted into the fish, one major challenge that needs to be addressed is the micro-b...

This paper aims to analyse the economy-wide implications of a carbon tax applied on the Chilean electricity generation sector. In order to analyse the macroeconomic impacts, both an energy sectorial model and a Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium model have been used. During the year 2014 a carbon tax of 5 US$/tCO2e was approved in Chile. This tax and its increases (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 US$...
