Abstract

In this paper a multistage combined investment and dispatch model for long-term unit commitment problems of large-scale hydrothermal power systems is presented. It is based on a combination of a continuous and mixed integer programming algorithm as well as Lagrangian relaxation. First, the required capacities of power generation and storage units are determined by a continuous linear program (LP). Second, in an optional stage the unit commitment problem for all investigated market areas, i.e. those of Europe, is solved by a mixed integer linear program (MILP). At last, a MILP solves the same problem with a higher level of detail for a focused subarea.
