The impacts of climate change on a Norwegian high-head hydropower system
Hydropower is the most important renewable energy source for electricity in Norway. However, it is the most vulnerable resource to climate change. Despite the importance of hydropower and its vulnerability to climate change, many studies have been mostly concerned with large-scale resources assessment. This study aims to address the climate change impacts on the scale of a single hydropower ...

Short-term hydro thermal generation scheduling using modified invasive weed optimisation algorithm
This paper presents a radical methodology to find the solution of optimal short-term hydrothermal generation scheduling problem using modified invasive weed optimisation algorithm (MIWOA). The hydrothermal system is highly non-linear and non-convex due to its constraints, making the optimal scheduling difficult. In this paper, a modified invasive weed optimisation algorithm with parallel ...

Evaluation of precipitation forecasts from NOAA global forecast system in hydropower operation
Forecasts of 10-day average inflow into the Ertan hydropower station of the Yalong river basin are needed for seasonal hydropower operation. Medium-range inflow forecasts have usually been obtained by Auto-Regressive-Moving-Average (ARMA) models, which do not utilize any precipitation forecasts. This paper presents a simple GFS-QPFs-based rainfall - runoff model (GRR) using the 10-day accumulated ...

Voltage source converter with a transformer as an electronic load controller for a stand-alone power generation
This paper presents a new configuration of a voltage and frequency controller for a stand alone pico hydro power generating system employing an Isolated Asynchronous Generator (IAG). The proposed controller is an Electronic Load Controller (ELC), which consists of a three leg IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Junction Transistor) based Voltage Source Converter (VSC), a DC chopper and an auxiliary load ...

VSC with zigzag transformer based electronic load controller for a stand-alone power generation
This paper presents a novel configuration of a voltage and frequency (VF) controller for a stand-alone pico hydro power generating system employing an asynchronous generator (IAG). The proposed VF controller is an electronic load controller (ELC), which consists of a three leg insulated gate bipolar junction transistor (IGBT) based voltage source converter (VSC), a DC chopper and an auxiliary ...
