A practical hydro, dynamic unit commitment and loading model.

We describe the dynamic unit commitment and loading (DUCL) model that has been developed for use in real-time system operations at BC Hydro (BCH) to determine the optimal hydroelectric unit generation schedules for plants with multiple units and complex hydraulic configurations. The problem is formu...
