AbstractA new approach to the hydro‐thermal optimal active and reactive power scheduling problem is proposed. The optimal schedules for a system with thermal and common‐flow hydro‐plants are obtained. The active‐reactive power balance model of the electric network is introduced. Although not as accurate as the load‐flow model, the present model is simpler. The scheduling problem is solved by use of the minimum norm formulation of functional analytic opt
