Abstract

This paper studies the performance of newly developed and under development interior-point optimization codes as applied to the solution of medium-term hydro-thermal coordination (MTHTC) problems. We compare commercial and research codes, and their main advantages and drawbacks are pointed out. The codes that we study are: CPLEX 3.0-barrier (the latest version of OB1 by Lustig), HOPDM by Gondzio, LOQO by Vanderbei, PCx by Mehrotra´s group, LIPSOL by Zhang, and LPA1 (a code being developed by the authors). All codes have been tested on the Spanish hydrothermal system
