Optimization of a Pumped-Storage Fixed-Head Hydroplant: The Bang-Singular-Bang Solution

We consider the problem of the optimization of the functioning of a pumped-storage hydroplant. The problem can be mathematically formulated as an optimal control problem, and when the considered hydromodel is of the fixed-head type, an added complication arises: the solution is of the bangsingular-b...
