Comments were made by Ali Esmaeel Nezhad and Abdollah Ahmadi on a publication by S. Lu, et al. on hydrothermal scheduling. In real world, the hydro schedule in [Energy Conyers. Manage. 51 (2010) 561-571] is also a possible solution. But the power produced by some hydro unit may not reflect the real world value. The mathematic model should be amended to obey real hydrothermal schedule. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
