- In this paper, we propose an optimal dispatch scheme for a cascaded hybrid hydro-solar power system, i.e., a hydroelectric system coupled with solar generation, which maximizes the head levels of each dam, and minimizes the spillage effects. The paper solves the important problem of intermittency of renewable-based resources and promotes a sustainable use of water and power. It was the first time this particular system was studied and a 5% increase at its performance was realised
