Optimal short-term operation of a cascaded hydro-solar hybrid system: a case study in Kenya

In this paper, we propose an optimal dispatch scheme for a cascaded hybrid hydro-solar power system, i.e., a hydroelectric system coupled with solar generation, which maximizes the head levels of each dam, and minimizes the spillage effects. As a result, more water is stored in the dams to meet a gi...
