Optimizing multiple reservoir system operation for maximum hydroelectric power generation

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

General Overview of Maximum Power Point Tracking Methods for Photovoltaic Power Generation Systems

Maximum power point tracking controller is essential to obtain the maximum power from a solar array in the photovoltaic systems as the PV power module varies with the temperature and solar irradiation. In this paper, several methods for the MPPT of the PV systems are discussed and it can to be used as a Helpful reference for the upcoming MPPT user in the PV applications.

Deterministic optimization of short-term scheduling for hydroelectric power generation

This work focuses on the deterministic optimization of short-term scheduling for hydroelectric power generation. The proposed methodology builds on a detailed mathematical programming model by considering the topological, reservoir, and plant constraints, and by representing the hydro production by an accurate function. The formulation results in a non-convex MINLP problem. A deterministic opti...

Modeling Medium Term Hydroelectric System Operation with Large-scale Penetration of Intermittent Generation

Electricity production from renewable energy sources (RES) is being promoted worldwide as a way to decrease CO2 and pollutant emissions. Nowadays special regime generation in Spain corresponds to cogeneration, renewable and biomass (photovoltaic solar power, wind power, geothermal, small hydro plants, and biomass and waste power plants) and urban and mining waste. Some of these RES are highly i...
