[en] Underground Pumped Hydro-Energy Storage stations are sustainable options to enhance storage capacity and thus the flexibility of energy systems. Efficient management of such units requires high-performance optimization algorithms able to find solutions in a very restricted timing to comply with the responsive energy markets. In this context, parallel computing offers a valuable solution to ensure appropriate decisions that maximize the profit of the station operator, while guaranteeing the safety of the energy network. This study investigates the use of three existing algorithms in Parallel Bayesian Optimization, namely q-EGO, BSP-EGO and TuRBO. The three algorithms have different inherent behaviors in terms of parallel potential and, even though TuRBO scales better, q-EGO remains the best choice regarding the final outcomes for all investigated batch sizes and manages to get up to 5 times more profits than other approaches.
