Hydrothermal coordination of electricity generation through nonlinear multicommodity network flows

The solution of the problem of long-term hydrothermal coordination of electricity generation finds out, for each interval into which one has divided a long time interval, the amounts of hydro generation over the whole period. The solution must take into account that thermal plant is not always available, and that demand and water inflows in each reservoir at each interval are known as probability distributions. The nonlinear network flow technique already employed in the case of deterministic
