CORE 50th Anniversary Conference

Auditorium Agora, UCLouvain campus, Louvain la Neuve, Belgium

A scientific session on Computational Challenges in Energy is organized in the frame of the CORE 50th anniversary conference with the sponsorship of the Engie Chair.

Subject

The production planning of power systems involving both hydro and thermal generation can be extremely difficult from a computational point of view. Multiple aspects make the problem hard and cannot usually be neglected: non-convexities related to hydro reservoirs, river flows, start-up costs and minimum output requirements, randomness of water inflow, net electricity demand and fuel cost, and the sheer size of the instances measured by the number of power plants, nodes in the power network and span of the time horizon. This session discusses these challenges and recent advances in computational methods for overcoming these challenges.
