Hydroelectric Power Station

Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) on wild animals from the Porto-Primavera Hydroelectric power station area, Brazil.

From June 2000 to June 2001, a total of 741 ticks were collected from 51 free-living wild animals captured at the Porto-Primavera Hydroelectric power station area, located alongside an approximately 180 km course of the Paran river, between the states of S o Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul, comprising 9 species of 3 genera: Ambly-omma (7 species), Boophilus (1) and Anocentor (1). A total of 421 i...

Characterization of the Water Quality Status on a Stretch of River Lérez around a Small Hydroelectric Power Station

The renewable energy emerged as a solution to the environmental problems caused by the conventional sources of energy. Small hydropower (SHP) is claimed to cause negligible effects on the ecosystem, although some environmental values are threatened and maintenance of an adequate water quality should be ensured. This work provides a characterization of the water quality status in a river stretch...

Evaluation of Neural PDF Control Strategy Applied to a Nonlinear Model of a Pumped-storage Hydroelectric Power Station

In this paper, a neural Pseudoderivative control (PDF) is applied to a nonlinear mathematical model of the Dinorwig pumped storage hydroelectric power station. The response of the system with this auto-tuning controller is compared with that of a classic controller, currently implemented on the system. The results show how the application of PDF control to a hydroelectric pumped-storage station...
