In this work, Artificial Intelligence (AI) based Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm is proposed for Load Frequency Control (LFC) of interconnected multi–area hydrothermal power systems. Area 1&2 are thermal power systems and area 3 is a hydro power system, all the areas are interconnected through the appropriate tie-line. Thermal and hydro power plants are applied with reheat turbine and e...

This paper presents a profit-based model for short-term hydro scheduling adapted to pool-based electricity markets. The objective is to determine a feasible operation of a set of coupled hydro units belonging to a small or medium-size hydroelectric company. The company is assumed to be price-taker, and therefore, market prices are considered exogenous variables and modeled via scenarios. In ord...

The objective of this paper is to investigate the cause of several unexpected high amplitude oscillations that occurred in the surge tank water level of a real hydropower plant during secondary load-frequency control (LFC) maneuvers, after the replacement of the turbine runner, and to propose solutions that allow the power plant to continue providing secondary LFC in a safe and reliable manner....

The availability of non-renewable energy has recently been running low and so impacts electrical energy. Renewable is converted from natural sources to kinetic Double Propeller Water Turbine a water turbine that suitable be applied using small flow head. This research development previous by changing the degree inclination blade angle on turbine, which used determine changes in power efficiency...

This paper presents the results of research on a new schematic generator load controller simulation, namely an electronic based dimmer circuit and stepper motor for small-scale 5 kW micro-hydro. The is built from with program control using Matlab software, PPI 8255 interface device. Using diac, triac, variable resistor (pot), capacitor components. As well as 28BYJ-48 motor. Simulation made to d...
