Abstract

This chapter presents a simulation methodology that evaluates the economic performance of hydro storage system in the day-ahead (DA) and real-time (RT) markets. A long-term production cost simulation model is employed which conducts Security-Constrained Unit Commitment (SCUC) and Security-Constrained Economic Dispatch (SCED) and co-optimizes both the energy market and the ancillary services market. A novel simulation method ...
