Comparison of Strategies for Ideal Economic Dispatch of Energy Resources Including Input-Exit for Thermal Plants

 This article compares two strategies to analyse stock price trading with firm generation plants (hydraulic and thermal) and plants with variable generation (wind and photovoltaic). Additionally this paper analyse the advantages of using a strategy based on the prediction of hourly consumption, optimizing the entrance of the thermal plants, taking into account the entrance-exit ramps and the minimum times of operation, as opposed to the strategy based on the demand hour To hour, which does not allow predicting the need to dispatch thermals in later hours.
