The purpose of this study is to develop a general algorithm to solve in a robust, flexible and fast way the short-term scheduling problems of two different multi-reservoir hydroelectric power systems. The first system consists of four reservoirs in series, the second corresponds to that of the Ste Maurice river. / The solution method is based on the discrete maximum principle. Gradient method is used for the solution of the two-point boundary value problem. Two algorithms are suggested for dealing with difficulties posed by the state variable constraints. The first uses the augmented lagrangian method, the second is iterative. / Both algorithms give a satisfactory solution for the problem. However, the first requires more memory space than the second but converges more rapidly. The second algorithm has the advantage of executing an iteration in less CPU time. For large scale problems the second (iterative) algorithm option is recommended.
