Abstract: This paper presents a sequence of procedures for data analysis and correction from hydroelectric plants. The procedures are based on variable data recorded by the plant. Therefore, they do not require additional financial ...

Abstract: This paper presents a methodology for obtaining and adjusting of efficiency curves for hydroelectric generating units. It is based on measured data of power, gross head, and water discharge recorded by the company that ...

Abstract: In this paper the authors propose a global–local methodology for optimizing the short-term operation of hydroelectric plants. The authors determine the tradeoffs between minimizing the daily release from the plant and ...

Abstract: The power generated by a hydroelectric plant depends on the penstock head loss, the turbine efficiency, and the generator efficiency among other factors. Initially, the functions related to these variables are provided by ...
