In this paper a day-ahead planning algorithm for a multi-reservoir hydropower system coordinated with wind power is developed. Coordination applies to real situations, where wind power and hydropower are owned by different utilities, sharing the same transmission lines, though hydropower has priority for transmission capacity. Coordination is thus necessary to minimize wind energy curtailments ...

This paper reviews a variety of derived single-purpose operating policies for reservoirs in series and in parallel for water supply, flood control, hydropower, water quality, and recreation. Such rules are useful for real-time operations, conducting reservoir simulation studies for real-time, seasonal, and longterm operations, and for understanding the workings of multi-reservoir systems. For r...

In this paper we discuss how three different public policy measures affect water storage controlled by hydropower producing firms. In particular we discuss measures to promote competition, increase transmission capacity and rationing. The analysis is conducted within the framework of an oligopoly model where 2 hydro producing firms engage in dynamic Bertrand competition. We extend this model to...

A new approach to efficient, faster, and intelligent hydropower plant (HPP) control, where constituent equipment is described with highly non-linear mathematical models based on the recommendation from working group of IEEE prime movers, represented in this paper. HPP stability high efficiency are important factors dependent dynamic changes energy system demands starting time because obtained v...

This paper assessed the near future projected hydropower potential over Rwegura catchment hosting, up to date, biggest plant of Burundi. Observed and gridded data were considered period 1981

This paper presents a model to solve the short-term scheduling problem of a hydropower plant in a deregulated system, based on dynamic programming techniques. The objective of this model is to maximize the revenue obtained by selling energy in a competitive electricity market. The time horizon of the model is divided into hourly periods and ranges from one day to one week. The proposed model de...
