Description

Hydrothermal scheduling problem involves allocating the total power demand
and losses among the hydro and thermal generators in a least-cost way. The
scheduling period is typically a few days long. The hydraulic flow
constraints and the limits on generator outputs have to be observed in the
scheduling problem.
