Abstract

We consider the optimal management of a hydro-thermal power system in the mid and long terms. From the optimization point of view, this amounts to a large-scale multistage stochastic linear program, often solved by combining sampling with decomposition algorithms, like stochastic dual dynamic programming. Such methodologies, however, may entail prohibitive computational time, especially when applied to a risk-averse formulation of the problem. We propose instead a risk-averse rolling-horizon policy that is nonanticipative, feasible, and time consistent. The policy is obtained by solving a sequence of risk-averse problems with deterministic constraints for the current time step and future chance and CVaR constraints.
