A hydropower plant scheduling model considering the stochastic correlation between runoff and electricity prices by WU Ying, WANG Juefei, LI Junjie, WANG Kun, SHEN Yan, WU Yingjun

“…To address this， a scheduling model is proposed that aims to maximize expected net revenue while minimizing medium- to long-term operational risks. First， using the conditional value at risk （CVaR） theory， marginal distribution functions are utilized to characterize the risks of runoff uncertainty and electricity price volatility （EPV）， enabling accurate risk assessment for market-operated hydropower plants. …”
