This paper addresses the problem of short-term optimization of operating modes of the Vakhsh cascade hydropower plants. A mathematical model has been developed that incorporates operational, hydraulic, and energy constraints, as well as the specific features of reservoir flow regulation. The model implements an objective function aimed at maximizing electricity generation while accounting for water balance and constraints related to forebay and tailwater levels, discharges, and power output.

Keywords: cascade of hydropower plants, short-term optimization, operating mode, mathematical model.
