Optimization of the weekly operation of a multipurpose hydroelectric development, including a pumped storage plant

Optimization of HPPs chain operation on the Lower Sava during flood events

“…Bolj kot z zadrževanjem vodne mase v akumulacijah je na preoblikovanje in potovanje poplavnih valov mogoče vplivati z aktiviranjem poplavnih površin v pravi fazi dogodka. V literaturi objavljene študije optimiziranja delovanja HE so izdelane s poudarkom na proizvodnji električne energije in ekonomike delovanja objekta, pri čemer ne obravnavajo poplavne problematike (Sakr et al, 1985;Popa et al, 2010;Sekretarev et al, 2016;Parvez et al, 2019).…”

Optimization of the operation of Dokan hydropower development using Cuckoo Search Algorithm

“… some studies can go, for example, from the determination of the impact of environmental flow on some small hydropower plants (SHPPs) production [8], to the impact of climate change and distributions of precipitation on hydropower production for a large country [9];  use of dedicated software for assess the possibility to model the attachment of a HPP to existing dams [10], or presenting innovative concepts applied to recent hydropower projects [11];  analysis of past energy production for determination of hydropower share in total energy generation [12], or of different statistical parameters [13,14], or prediction of share of hydropower in total energy generation [15];  assessment of hydropower potential [16], or of pumped storage plants potential at a country level [17], or of hidden hydro related to empowering non-powered dams at a country level [18]. Related to optimization of the operation of HPDs, complex problems where the as the optimization of the electricity production of a HPP powered from a multiple use reservoir [19], or estimation of performance of a complex HPD with more reservoirs and associated HPPs and a pumped storage plant (PSP) [20] or the optimization of such complex HPDs [21], can be successfully addressed, where classical operational research methods can no longer face the complexity of the problem to be solved.…”

“…During the last few years, there has been a significant number of publications related to automated algorithms for the design of hydraulic turbomachines, [139,59,140,81,92,206,47,21,77,121], with the overwhelming majority relying on stochastic optimization methods. Even though, nowadays, deterministic optimization methods are rather widespread for designing thermal turbomachines, [188,270,65,156,152,266], their application to hydraulic turbomachines is, surprisingly, limited to a handful of relative publications, [57,56,58].…”
