Abstract (EN): The coordination between wind farms and pumping storage units increases the wind farm's controllability and maximizes the profit. In literature, several optimization algorithms were proposed for deriving the optimal coordination between wind farms and storage units. However, no attention has been given to operational management strategies for following the strategy that results from the optimization phase. This paper presents three possible heuristic strategies for managing the wind-hydro system during the operational day according to a day-ahead optimized strategy. Moreover, a chance-constrained based optimization algorithm, that includes wind power uncertainty, is also described. The algorithms are tested in a real case-study.
