Today, with the great development of science and technology, it seems to be more and more important to develop renewable energy sources. In this thesis, I would like to introduce something about Chinese water resources. The renewable energy sources can generate electricity. Furthermore, hydropower is the most often used energy in the world. Hydropower develops quickly in recent years in China a...

This paper details the development and application of a Plant Asset Management (PAM) system which turns data into useful information in order to assess asset condition. The system was developed by Matrikon Australia for Meridian Energy Limited, New Zealand’s largest state owned electricity generator. PAM was designed to provide advanced condition monitoring and prediction of asset failures for ...

Power plant management relies on monitoring many signals that represent the technical parameters of the real plant. The use of neural networks (NN) is a novel approach that can help to produce decisions when integrated in a more general system. In this paper we introduce a NN module using an ART-MAP to discriminate different situations from the plant in order to prevent future malfunctions. A s...

In this study the electric power generation from the Kayabogazi Dam has been investigated using Fuzzy logic algorithm to optimize the required power demand. In the implementation of the algorithm the real data recorded by the State Water Works (DSI) which is representing monthly average water flow to the Kayabogazi Dam has been used. An easy and operator friendly control algorithm has been deve...

Hydropower accounts for about 16 % of the world’s electricity supply. It has been debated whether hydroelectric generation is merely an in-stream water user or whether it also consumes water. In this paper we provide scientific support for the argument that hydroelectric generation is in most cases a significant water consumer. The study assesses the blue water footprint of hydroelectricity – t...

This study aims to determine the amount of potential renewable energy sources hydroelectric power plants that have been used meet electrical needs in East Kalimantan at this time, not for and planning provide province order In study, supply demand were analyzed using LEAP (Long-range Energy Alternative Planning system) models. Analyze over next thirteen years 2012 as starting point. The linear ...
