  • Abstract
    In this paper a new method to find optimal strategies for scheduling of pumped hydro storage reservoirs is presented. Allowing start-up costs and non-linear head variations to be handled within a formal optimization algorithm shows increased value for hydro storage operators. Two cases are presented and the proposed solutions are compared to state of the art tools within hydro scheduling.
