Risk-averse multistage stochastic programs appear in multiple areas and are challenging to solve.
Stochastic Dual Dynamic Programming (SDDP) is a well known tool to address such problems under time-independence assumptions.
We show how to derive a dual formulation for these problems and apply an SDDP algorithm, leading to converging and deterministic upper bounds for risk averse problems.
