MATHEMATICAL MODELING AND PROGRAMING OF HYDRO SYSTEM
KOMUNALNA ENERGETIKA / POWER ENGINERING, 19
The purpose of this article was to develop a generic model based on mixed-integer, nonlinear programming (MINLP) for system optimisation regarding the possible construction of a hydropower plant. The system is based on the model of an arbitrary branched water network; with a varying number of volume flows, ideal slope inclination of the analysed landscape and variable water-head at the flow intersections. Using this model we wanted to predict the optimal installation location of water capture within a hydropower plant, that would gives the maximum economic profit from produced and sold electricity using installed water-flow to the turbine. We wanted to present the results of basic physical and economic variables to assess the use of water potential and to provide suggestions on the selection of the most technologically appropriate water turbine driver for electricity generation.
Modelling and optimisation of the set problem were implemented using advanced GAMS computer software.
