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.
