HUCP Instances Generator (HIG)

HIG is a generator of instances for the Hydro Unit Commitement Problem.
This is currently a Beta version, and we encourage Users to test it and to let us know their comments and opinions.

The generator requires some data about prices from http://www.mercatoelettrico.org/. A bash script is available among the provided files in order to download authomatically and in the right folder the files with price data (An equivalent batch script for Windows will soon be available.). It is sufficient to execute it, however the Users should convert the excel files into semicolon separated CSV files. The necessary spreadsheet is "Prezzi-Prices".
To install the genearator on any Linux O.S. it is sufficient to run make. Then to execute it is sufficient to run ./HIG and follow the instructions.

Requirements:
  • gcc version at least 4.4.7 ;

In addition an AMPL code for testing the instances is provided below.

Here some explanation slides.
Further description and instructions will soon be available.
