Optimization Techniques for Power Generation2.1 Optimal scheduling of hydrothermal plants27Mandalet al.27 demonstrated application of nonlinear programming to determine the optimal operation schedule for subsequent periods. As the operation cost of hydrothermal plants are very low, this problem is simply a nonlinear program to reduce the amount of coal used in thermal plants in p
