Modeling Hydropower Systems for Training

Abstract

Paper presents the software package thatimplements the ability to study hydroelectric power systems withcomplex hydraulic connections, planning long-term regime ofhydro power plant with the requirements of water users on theexample of the Votkinsk hydroelectric plants, and training forthe calculation of the water-energy regime of hydroelectricpower. The complex is developed in the high-level Pythonprogramming language based on the current requirementsspecified in the rules for the use of water resources of theVotkinsk reservoir. The calculation in the software package isperformed by the direct method. Given that the software packageis suitable for both research and training. To improve the qualityof the calculation, we consider method of swarm optimization.The complex is planned to be used in the course of laboratorywork on the planning of the HPP operation mode.
