A study on three different hydropower operation rules by monthly and daily time steps

Tefaruk HAKTANIR | Alper AYDEMİR

Operation simulation models are developed for monthly and daily time steps for computing the hydroelectric energy and its financial benefits in an economic life by three different operation policies: steady-rate, three-shift and pumped-storage rules. The pump is operated during the night and consumes low-cost energy. The resulting computer programs, three on monthly and three on daily steps, are applied to the Yamula dam – which is a fairly large dam generating energy, located in the Inland Anatolia region of Turkey – over a period of 35 years using the gauged daily stream flows and daily pan ...Daha fazlası
