Abstract

In this work, the primal-dual and predictor corrector interior points methods are studied and developed for the predispatch DC problem that minimizes generation and transmission losses on hydroelectric power systems, on the basis of the network flow model and the minimum effort principle. The matrix structure, resulting of the simplification of the problem considered by inclusion of the minimum effort principle, is studied aiming efficient implementations. A disturbed primal-dual method is considered on the basis of a heuristic definition that determine the choice of the disturbance parameter. This method showed to be efficient in practice and converged in fewer iterations when compare with an existing implementation of the network flow model. (AU)
