Introduction
This page grew out of the Hydro Modelling Breakout Group at the 3rd openmod workshop in London, 2015.
Hydroelectric modelling
In a linear programming setup, hydroelectric dams can be modelled as storage units with state of charge limits, set inflow, controllable spillage and optional pumping.
The chaining of run-of-river plants, multiple turbines fed from the same reservoir, can all be modelled too.
More detail can be found in books such as
A. J. Wood, B. F. Wollenberg, and G. B. Sheblé, "Power Generation, Operation and
Control," New York: John Wiley & Sons, Third Edition, 2014.
