A stabilized model and an efficient solution method for the yearly optimal power management

Vincent Guigues

Abstract: We propose a stabilized model for the electricity generation management problem on a yearly scale. We also introduce an original and efficient solution method in a particular case. Our model is compared to other management methods and offers the best average cost while preserving a reasonable standard deviation of the cost over a set of testing scenarios.

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 multi-stage problems with deterministic constraints for the current time step and future chance and CVaR constraints.The considered hydro-thermal model takes into account losses resulting from run-of-river plants efficiencies as well as uncertain demand and streamflows. Constraints aim at satisfying demand while keeping reservoir levels above minzones almost surely. We show that if the problem uncertainty is represented by a periodic autoregressive stochastic process with lag one, then the probabilistic constraints can be computed explicitly. As a result, each one of the aforementioned multi-stage problems is an easy to solve medium-size linear program.For a real-life power system we compare our approach with three alternative policies. Namely, a robust nonrolling-horizon policy and two risk-neutral policies obtained by stochastic dual dynamic programming, implemented in nonrolling-and rolling-horizon modes, respectively. Our numerical assessment confirms the superiority of the risk-averse rolling-horizon policy that yields comparable average indicators, but with reduced volatility and with substantially less computational effort.
