The paper presents an effective method based on the Lagrange multiplier theory to solve optimal scheduling of hydrothermal power system. Optimal scheduling of hydrothermal power systems is a great important problem to electric utility systems, the main objective of the problem is to determine the generation for each plant during scheduling period of time such that the total system generation cost is minimum while satisfying the system constrains of the generating limits and available water. The problem of optimal economic operation of hydrothermal power systems with fixed head hydro plants is considered and has had many researches about this. Determining of water discharge at the first interval is performed in this paper and lead to a low number of iteration and short computation time for convergence. The proposed method is tested on one system consisting of one hydro and one thermal plant through two examples.
