EXLA: A model for the long-term scheduling of hydro systems

J. García-González E. Parrilla

January 2002 - December 2002

Funding entity Endesa


Tne model EXLA is a tool for the long-term scheduling of hydro systems developed for the ENDESA by the IIT.

The main objective of this project is the development of a pure hydraulic model which will allow to find the optimal operation of the hydraulic resources belonging to ENDESA in the mid and long term. This model is named EXLA and its main aplication will be to guarantee that the composite hydro operation provided by the long-term hydro-thermal coordination tool (model VALORE) is feasible and otherwise, to correct and to propose a new feasible scheduling.

The representation of the hydro systems used in VALORE cannot be very detailed because of the computational effort it would require. This is the reason and the necessity for the developent of a pure hydraulic model (model EXLA) which will be comunicated and linked with VALORE in both senses.
