Medium-term hydropower scheduling with provision of capacity reserves and inertia

Abstract

The thesis was carried out during the autumn semester of 2015, in cooperation with SINTEF Energy Research AS.I would like to thank my supervisor Magnus Korpås for his guidance and encouragement throughout the semester. I also wish to thank my co-supervisor Martin Nødland Hjelmeland for his help with understanding the model, which has been of paramount importance for the work achieved. Further, I am grateful for the help of Erik Alexander Jansson at Statnett, for providing me with data of the rotational energy in the Nordic power system. I am also grateful for all the help and hydropower system data provided by Magnus Landstad and his colleagues at Lyse Produksjon AS.Finally, I am thankful for the many fruitful discussions with my fellow students, providing valuable help with problems concerning my own thesis, as well as giving me insight into the interesting topics of theirs.
