Linear Power Discretization and Nonlinear Formulations for Optimizing Hydropower in a Pumped Storage System

Operation of a pumped storage system is dictated by the time dependent price of electricity and capacity limitations of the generating plants. This thesis considers the optimization of the Smith Mountain Lake-Leesville Pumped Storage-Hydroelectric facility. The constraints include the upper and lowe...
