This approach allows a very detailed and transparent modeling of many problems in hydro power planning by simultaneously being computationally very efficient. The model is applied to a complex pumped storage hydro power plant in a liberalized market environment in order to give decision support for the self-scheduling of it. The modeling framework is compared to three alternative state-of-the-art modeling approaches. The results suggest that multi-horizon models are especially valuable for the modeling of hydro power plants with different types of reservoirs. ER -
