Parallel Computation for Large-Scale Nonlinear Optimization Problems with Application to Hydro Electric Generation

这项研究是加州大学的张子恩教授和康涅狄格大学的彼得·B·卢教授合作完成的，ECS-8717167，解决了大规模电力系统中存在的规划和运行活动之间的相互关系。这个领域被称为广义调度问题，随着系统复杂性的增加，它正成为一个非常重要的课题。本研究从层级分解和协调的角度来看待这一问题。虽然概念框架是相当一般的，但大规模系统的优化技术的实际发展是取决于问题的。本文以水电短期调度和预调度问题为研究背景，为新技术的应用奠定了基础。

This research is a Cooperative effort between Professor Tsu-Shaun Chang, University of California and Professor Peter B. Luh, University of Connecticut, ECS-8717167, and addresses the interrelationship that exists in large-scale power systems between planning and operational activities. This area, termed the generalized scheduling problem, is emerging as a highly important topic as system complexity increases. This investigation views the problem from the perspective of hierarchial decomposition and coordination. While the conceptual framework is quite general, actual development of optimization techniques for large-scale systems is problem dependent. This work focuses on the hydro short-term scheduling and pre-dispatch problem as background for applying the new techniques.
