“…A unified optimal scheduling of hydrothermal units occupies a very important position in a modern power system, where its main purpose is to determine the optimal outputs of hydro and thermal plants and minimise the total operating cost while satisfying the system operational constraints and technical constraints of units [1,2]. However, within the large-scale grid connection of wind power, the contradiction between hydropower, thermal power, wind power and other power sources is prominent, and the phenomenon of wind and hydro power curtailment is serious.…”
