Operational Flexibility?A Precious Commodity
This discussion is about Operational Flexibility, as it applies to the generating resources of a large electricity system. The author discusses the situation at Ontario Hydro, operationally...

A Short-Term Hydro Scheduler for Hydro-Thermal Power Systems
This paper presents HYDSIM (Hydro-electric Simulation), a new versatile computer model developed to simulate the hourly or daily operation of a large network of multi-purpose reservoirs...

Real Time Hydropower Scheduling for Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation
Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation (NMPC) presently manually schedules their hydro system of 660 MW (80 stations in ten river basins). The scheduling procedures are labor intensive and relatively...

Determination of Values of Project Storage for Hydropower Scheduling
The Columbia River is characterized by multiple and sometimes conflicting uses, and its basin extends over many political jurisdictions. To balance pluralistic needs and authorities with...

Marketing Power in the Pacific Northwest
The marketing of power in the Pacific Northwest is a process intimately tied to the management of the Columbia River system. This paper describes the characteristics of the river and transmission...

Columbia River Treaty Perspectives
The Columbia River Treaty was signed in 1961 and ratified by the governments of Canada and the United States in 1964. The Treaty required British Columbia to construct three large storage...

Reservoir Regulation in the Monsoon Climate of Korea
An examination of reservoir regulation rules in light of uncertain estimates of river flow in the Han River Basin, Republic of Korea, shows that two strategies will improve total hydroelectric...

Multisite Hydrocomplex Optimization
A multisite complex is analysed in northern Quebec to decide the level of equipment needed that will supply firm energy at the best possible unitary price. Four possible sites were chosen...

Hydropower Development of China's Yangtze River
The Yangtze has eight times the hydro potential of the Columbia River basin, currently the largest developed hydro system in the world. In order to pursue economic development through...

Rain Data Telemetry for Operation of a Hydro-Reservoir
The Collywobbles hydro-electric station operates 42MW with very little river storage. Raindata is collected from 11 gauges distributed in the 5000 km**2 catchment and telemetered to a...

Computer-Aided Operation of a Hydropower System
This paper outlines the development of a computer model which optimizes the operation of a regulated river system given certain constraints using an adaptive deterministic linear programming...

A Case Study of Hydropower Operation Based on Runoff Forecast
The intent of this paper is to outline a forecast approach developed to enable the operation of power storage projects, and to illustrate from employing the approach that overall system...

Computerized Operation Models of Oroville Reservoir
Two monthly computer operational models, OROTHM1 and OROTHM2, were developed to provide more detailed operation and maintenance studies for the Oroville facilities. Currently another computer...

Hydrologic Dispatch Model for a Hydropower System
A hydrologic dispatch model was developed for an 11 plant, six reservoir hydroelectric system. The model incorporates load forecasting, system dispatching strategy, and database management...

Optimal Operation of the Savannah River System
This paper presents an application of a stochastic control method to the real time operation of the Savannah river system which includes three reservoirs and is expected to meet energy...

Development of Hydroelectric Scheduling Model
This paper presents the proposal preparation, pre- and post-award negotiations, and the engineering and computer software development of an hourly generation scheduling model. The Western...

Hydrologic Studies for Dinkey Creek Hydro-Electric Project
The economic analysis and final design of the 120 MW hydro-electric development on Dinkey Creek, a tributary of the North Fork of the Kings River in the Central Valley of California, requires...

Hydrologic Design Methodologies for Small-Scale Hydro at Ungauged Sites
IMP is a microcomputer package for evaluating small-scale hydroelectric power sites in British Columbia. With IMP it should be possible for an experienced hydroelectric engineer to make...

Estimating Streamflow Characteristics for Micro-hydro Sites in Northwestern Oregon
Assessing hydropower potential requires knowledge of the streamflow characteristics at prospective sites. Gaging stations are often unavailable. A method for estimating streamflow characteristics...

DURAPLOT: A Flexible Approach to Hydropower Site Optimization
The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, North Pacific Division Office has over the past six years performed reconnaissance and feasibility level hydropower studies at a variety of sites throughout...
