Two-day workshop under PES Distinguished Lecturer Program: Matching hydropower and renewables: an overview of hydroscheduling and renewable integration in competitive electricity markets with a significant hydro share

Matching hydropower and renewables: an overview of hydroscheduling and renewable integration in competitive electricity markets with a significant hydro share

The objective of this workshop is to discuss the interplay between hydropower and renewables, under a market design and modeling perspectives. We will mostly discuss what will (and should) be the role of hydro power in a renewable dominated market and how will market design and regulation enable or interfere with this development. A modeling and policy-oriented approach, based on practical experience from the industry, will be deployed.

Main topics to be discussed:

• Hydropower as an enabler of the energy transition and renewable integration in electricity markets and the hydro renaissance
• Hydro development 2.0: planning new hydros with sustainability requirements
• Hydroscheduling in electricity markets
• Multi-stage decision making for storage in a probabilistic framework: the SDDP algorithm
• SDDP: from theory to practice – international experience, calibrating & validating models, probabilistic forecasting of renewable resources (inflows, wind & solar resources)
• Electricity Market Design and Hydropower: Transmission planning and energy auctions to integrate RES
• Role of hydro in integrating renewables
• International perspective on how different markets, regional generation portfolio, and water laws are influencing their model development: the hydroscheduling & the electricity market 2.0.
