In this work, the optimal power scheduling for a grid-connected hydrokinetic-battery hybrid system is proposed to sufficiently explore hydrokinetic energy and to benefit customers at demand side. The developed model for the hybrid system’s optimal power flow management aims to minimize electricity c...
