In order to achieve the potential of existing power stations, increase the efficiency of waterpower, and change the running of power stations from an individual plant basis to centralization, many people have researched the automation of power stations over the years with excellent results. However, in reality there are no power stations that have been fully automated. This paper proposes a con...

To achieve the net zero emission target by 2050, Taiwan is committed to promoting solar photovoltaic and offshore wind power. However, in order ensure stable supply of renewable energy, it should actively develop low-cost mature base load energy sources, such as small hydropower. By end 2021, Taiwan’s hydropower (excluding pumped storage hydropower) had a total installed capacity 2094 MW, accou...

The recent increased number of black outs in the power system has been largely due to growing competition and deregulation among the power industry. Power systems are complex nonlinear systems and often exhibit low frequency electro-mechanical oscillations due to insufficient damping caused by severe operating conditions. This needs an advanced modeling and control techniques for effective cont...

This paper discusses the temporal fit of teams of controllers to a real world hydropower system (HPS) in a deregulated market environment, emphasizing how well displays support quality of control performance by industry controllers. The results of an empirical evaluation suggest that displays that integrate task constraints over appropriate time scales help controllers construct more immediate ...

Hydropower remains the most important and largest source of renewable energy. However, besides many additional benefits, such as dams for water supply, irrigation, flood control, recreation, navigation, etc., hydropower generation has a negative impact on environment. This study aimed to investigate hydrologic changes in Lithuanian lowland rivers caused by small plants (HPPs). Thirty-two indica...
