Abstract :
A digital control system which provides unit commitment functions and real-time generation control while optimizing plant operating efficiency was put in service at the Hoover hydroelectric powerplant (USA) on June 1, 1987. The theory of the unit commitment and generation allocation schemes is presented. Results showing the operating efficiency gains during the first year of system operation are given
