Abstract :
This paper describes a method for the optimum scheduling of pumped storage hydro in combination with a steam generating system. It also describes a computer program which determines weekly operating schedules for a pumped hydro station. The techniques developed can be used to evaluate future peaking capacity of this type and to estimate long-term operating costs for different combinations of steam and pumped storage capacity.
