The problem is dynamic because water used today to generate electric power may alternatively be used tomorrow. The distinctive feature of the book is to provide a social planning perspective on optimal use of water. This is a prerequisite for understanding and evaluating newly established electricity markets. The dynamic nature of hydropower production, the high number of units involved, and the inherent stochastic nature of inflow of water make optimization problems quite difficult technically to solve. In the engineering literature complex stochastic dynamic programming models are used and solution algorithms developed for real-life data, and numerical solutions provided. In this book a much more simplified mathematical approach suited to obtain qualitative conclusions is followed. Standard nonlinear programming models for discrete time are used and the Kuhn?Tucker conditions employed extensively for qualitative interpretations. A special graphical presentation, termed a bathtub diagram, is developed for two-period illustration. The enlarged edition covers phasing-in of intermittent energy (run-of-the-river, wind and solar) and the economics of pumped-storage electricity. 000725418 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (viewed January 30, 2015). 000725418 650_0 $$aWater-power$$xEconomic aspects. 000725418 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9781489975188 000725418 830_0 $$aInternational series in operations research & management science ;$$vvolume 217. 000725418 852__ $$bebk 000725418 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-1-4899-7519-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000725418 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:725418$$pGLOBAL_SET 000725418 980__ $$aEBOOK 000725418 980__ $$aBIB 000725418 982__ $$aEbook 000725418 983__ $$aOnline 000725418 994__ $$a92$$bISE
