“Optimización del despacho hidrotérmico multihorario mediante la incorporación de centrales hidroeléctricas en una misma cuenca fluvial”

Abstract

The proposed research focuses on the analysis of sustainability in the electric power production sector through the use of flexible technologies, such as power plants with multiple fuel options, and the proper management of hydroelectric resources. For this reason, the study determines the hydrothermal economic dispatch, taking into account the incorporation of thermal generators and hydroelectric units that are located in a cascade in the same river basin to minimize the operating costs of the system considering a period of time of 24 hours, the aforementioned problem will be subject to the conditions of the thermal and hydraulic generation units. Given the previous criterion, a non-linear optimization problem will be solved using the GAMS software, the results delivered will serve for decision-making in the operation of the system, evaluating the impact on the short-term market.
