Hydropower is a mature and cost-competitive renewable energy source,
contributing to the bulk of global renewable electricity. Over the past decades,
computer technology has led to significant, possible improvements in monitoring,
diagnostics, protection, and control through retrofitting of large plants, and
there is potential for additional large plants as well as for smaller
installations.
This book presents a systematic approach to mathematical modeling of different
configurations of hydropower plants over four sections - modeling and simulation
approaches; control of hydropower plants; operation and scheduling of hydropower
plants, including pumped storage; and special features of small hydropower
plants. The chapters address the fundamentals and latest concepts, providing the
most appropriate solutions
