Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydrothermal power generation scheduling is a crucial problem that assesses the system operation in the future to pursue the trade-off between economical and reliable power generation resources. Consequently, the scheduling model results in a mathematical representation of the system components (reservoirs, plants, transmission lines) and a forecast of the operational conditions (weather, equipment failures, water inflow, demand, prices).
Different optimization models (long-term, medium-term, and unit commitment) usually solve the hydrothermal generation scheduling problem since power systems have different configurations, complexities, and sizes. Furthermore, systems are operated in different market contexts: in a decentralized market, different stakeholders possess distinct objectives, leading to different modeling approaches; in a cost-based market, a single entity is responsible for centrally scheduling and dispatching generating units. Technological changes, constant insertion of interminable power generation, and climate change are a small sample of the challenges demanded by generation scheduling models. In contrast, with robust developments in data analysis and optimization models, the high computational capacity has allowed innovative modeling and solution strategies and approaches.
To summarize, in this Special Issue, we invite authors to submit papers from the full value chain of hydrothermal power generation scheduling, including, but not limited to, modeling issues and solution strategies related to long- and medium-term generation scheduling problems, unit commitment, economic dispatch, market models, financial products in hydro-dominated markets, integration of intermittent resources, real-time scheduling and dispatch, and planning and maintenance of generation resources. Tutorial and survey papers are also welcome.
We are looking forward to receiving your outstanding research.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
