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 short term hydrothermal scheduling (STHTS) is a daily planning proposition in power system operation. The main purpose of hydro thermal generation scheduling is to minimize the overall operation cost and to satisfy the given constraints by scheduling optimally the power outputs of all hydro and thermal units under study periods, given electrical load and limited water resource.
