Combining Machine Learning and Optimization for Efficient Price Forecasting
Helseth, Arild; Sveen, Eivind Bekken (International Conference on the European Energy Market;2020, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2020)We present a framework based on machine learning for reducing the problem size of a short-term hydrothermal scheduling optimization model applied for price forecasting. The general idea is to reduce the optimization problem ... -
A Comprehensive Simulator for Hydropower Investment Decisions
Hågenvik, Hans Olaf; Mathisen, Siri Gulaker; Helseth, Arild; Mo, Birger (Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2022)Due to a higher share of power production from renewable sources with high short-term variation, hydro systems must more often operate closer to their components' physical limits. To simulate system behaviour, a hydropower ... -
Continuous Hydrothermal Flexibility Coordination Under Wind Power Uncertainty
Naversen, Christian Øyn; Parvania, Masood; Helseth, Arild; Farahmand, Hossein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)This paper develops a stochastic continuous-time optimization model for coordinating the operation of flexibility in a hybrid hydro-thermal-wind power system. The developed model gives insight for investigating the short-term ... -
Convex Relaxations of the Short-Term Hydrothermal Scheduling Problem
Helseth, Arild; Jaehnert, Stefan; Diniz, Andre Luiz (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This paper concerns the assessment of two methods for convex relaxation of the short-term hydrothermal scheduling problem. The problem is originally formulated as a mixed integer programming problem, and then approximated ... -
