Hydroelectric power resources potential regulation of Western Georgia

An Overview of Hydroelectric Power Plant: Operation, Modeling, and Control

Renewable energy provides twenty percent of electricity generation worldwide. Hydroelectric power is the cheapest way to generate electricity today. It is a renewable source of energy and provides almost one-fifth of electricity in the world. Also, it generates electricity using a renewable natural resource and accounting for six percent of worldwide energy supply or about fifteen percent of th...

Fuzzy Scheduling Applied on Hydroelectric Power Generation

An Assessment of Ecosystem Services: Water Flow Regulation and Hydroelectric Power Production

Forest ecosystems in the watersheds of the Yangtze river regulate water flow in the rivers. The value of water flow regulation by ecosystems is usually not realized in situ but may transfer spatially through rivers to another spot out of watersheds where conditions are suitable to realize it. To take into account the transfer of value of biological resources spatially, we developed a process-ba...

Advanced Condition Monitoring of a Hydroelectric Power Generation Facility

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 ...

Automatic Veriication of a Hydroelectric Power Plant 1

We analyze the speciication of a hydroelectric power plant by ENEL (the Italian Electric Company). Our goal is to show that for the speciication of the plant (its control system in particular) some given properties hold. We were provided with an informal speciication of the plant. From such informal speciication we wrote a formal speciication using the CCS/Meije process algebra formalism. We de...
