More about the project
Background
In many places, hydropower forms the backbone of the electric energy production system, providing ancillary services to the grid operator. The increased penetration of intermittent renewable sources that we are presently witnessing will result in an increased demand for balancing services and higher volatility in electricity prices, adding complexity to the planning problem for hydropower producers.
The increased uncertainty calls for an adequate risk assessment already in the planning stage. Moreover, the optimization problems that arise when the hydrological couplings in the system are considered is of an in nite dimensional character. Combined, this necessitates the development of new, efficient algorithms. Our aim is to investigate how machine learning can be combined with methods from robust control and risk analysis to find efficient strategies for hydropower producers and analyse the performance of the developed strategies.
Results
The results within the project can be divided into the following categories:
- Modelling power markets
- Modelling hydropower systems
- Showing existence of optimal controls
- Robust control
- Risk analysis
- Numerical computation algorithms
Research theme
The project is part of the research in the theme AI and machine learning for optimization and operations reserach.
