[For the entire collection see Zbl 0729.00024.] A very general framework for the formulation and solution of the hydro system scheduling problem is presented. The framework allows for the incorporation of virtually all types of constraints that are imposed in the planning and the actual operation of hydro systems. The algorithm described proves its ability to produce the maximum generation with the most uniform surplus power. The algorithm accurately models many of the hydroplant parameters and constraints and optimizes the schedules by means of functional analysis and the minimum norm formulation technique. The generation from each reservoir is considered as a quadratic function of the storage times the discharge through the turbine. Tailwater elevation is taken as a nonlinear function of the total release. Forebay elevation is considered as a nonlinear function of the storage. The basic feature of this new procedure is its ability to produce the maximum uniform surplus, which satisfies the system constraints. The procedure can compute the system parameters for hundreds of sets of rule curves of 51 run-of-river plants and 37 reservoir and 96 time periods. Typical numerical results for an actual hydro system illustrate the capabilities of the proposed solution scheme.
