We hence assume that the water constraint (6.10) is non-binding. Since risk<br />

is of no concern, the hydro dispatch is independent of the contract portfolio<br />

<strong>and</strong> naturally only depends on the spot price <strong>and</strong> time. To simplify we assume<br />

that the distribution function of the spot price f S is constant over time, why the<br />

dispatch only depends on the spot price.<br />

6.5.1. Hydro production strategy<br />

To start with, we consider a hydro storage plant with no pumping capacity. The<br />

exercise functions are given as step functions<br />
