Expert system scheduling of cascade hydro-electric plants.

Renton, M W; Wallace, A R

Abstract

The hydrological interdependence of plants in cascade
hydro electric systems means that operation of any one
plant has an effect on water levels and storage at other
plants in the system. Hydro plants may be dispatched to
meet predicted demand, to trade electricity at a
commercially opportune time, or to adjust water levels
in the system. Hydrologically and commercially
efficient operation of cascade systems requires that
water resources and energy trading are managed
simultaneously. This paper describes some of the
principles of cascade water management and the
development of an expert system which assists in the
optimal scheduling of hydro plant within Scottish Hydro
Electric plc's system
