Purpose. Computer modeling of territory flooding in the event an emergency at Seredniodniprovska Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP). Methodology. The computer model possible HPP is developed using simulation methods and geometric hydrological approaches considers initial boundary conditions water-engineering system. Calculations wave break height half-divided cross-sectional area river bed were ma...

This paper examines the effects of increased intermittency, caused by climate change, on strategic hydroelectric production when wind power is integrated with hydroelectricity. It is shown that increased uncertainty in water inflows caused by climate change raises hydroelectric output and increases the probability of overflow in future periods. The increased variability of wind speeds due to cl...

The general objective of this work is to evaluate the application impact of the RCM (Reliability-Centered Maintenance) methodology on a power generating system. The RCM warrants significant improvements in the maintenance-functions performance, and also an increase in reliability and availability of equipments. It permits the definition of a maintenance planning in a structured form. It was dev...

This paper presents the impact of the data quality from hydroelectric plants in the analysis of their past operation. A middle term simulation tool has been applied to Brazilian hydroelectric plants which are under the coordination of the Electric System National Operator (ONS). In order to analyze the impact of the data quality this simulator is used to reproduce the past operation of the plan...

it is expected that, compared with other power plants, changes in fuel cost for power plants in the deregulated electricity market leads to changes in the generation capacity of wind power plants. to quantify this effect, this article aims at modeling energy generation capacity and supply or distribution of different power plants as opposed to those of wind power plants. the proposed model was ...

Micro-hydro-electric power is both an efficient and reliable formof clean source of renewable energy. It can be an excellent method of harnessing renewable energy from small rivers and streams. The micro-hydro project designed to be a run -of-river type, because it requires very little or no reservoir in order to power the turbine. The water will run straight through the turbine and back into t...
