of flexible production units, as shown in Example 4.2. One should therefore<br />
proceed with care when aggregating periods.<br />
6.6.8. Analysis of dynamic solution<br />
As a solution from the optimization (6.53)-(6.62) we will obtain the optimal<br />

In any instant within the time horizon<br />

we<br />
can measure the state variables S, D, I a <strong>and</strong> t <strong>and</strong> with these variables as input<br />
to the exercise functions (6.51) <strong>and</strong> (6.52) get the optimal dispatch.<br />
In this dynamic dispatch strategy we are allowed to react to new information<br />
<strong>and</strong>, for example, meet unexpected high dem<strong>and</strong> by producing more or meet a<br />
price peak in a typical off-peak period. This flexibility offers an excellent way<br />
to manage these type of uncertain events, which is yet another wording for the<br />
hydro storage plant’s superb hedging capacity.<br />
An interesting question is what is this flexibility worth. One way to quantify<br />
this value would be to compare the average price of produced electricity S h<br />
