AB - The presented paper focuses on the characteristics of reservoir inflows and  the appropriate inflow model for long-term/mid-term hydrothermal scheduling.  The goal was to find the type of distribution that best fits the observed  series of monthly and weekly average inflows in most cases for a model which  considers the inflows as independent random variables without time  correlation. Also, the objective was to explore the correlation between the  inflows during time periods (for weekly and monthly intervals, respectively),  and to investigate whether the more complex model of reservoir inflow as a  dependent random variable is advisable for optimal long-term/mid-term  hydrothermal scheduling. Differences in the characteristics of monthly and  weekly inflows, which have been noticed during the analysis, are discussed.  Numerical results are presented.
