Hydro Optimization

TNBR has been involved in optimizing hydro plant in TNB for many years. It started as an effort to develop internal expertise due to the potential improvement TNB can derive from such optimization. Based on our past work at hydro plant as well as mini-hydro, we are offering the following services:

Hydroelectric Reservoir Operation Planning

• • Optimization of water resource utilization
• • Optimization of lake level management

Generation Scheduling

• • Optimization of allocation of water resource over future time steps
• • Optimization of number of units to be used for the given amount of water to be used

Inter Hydro Stations Coordinated Optimization

• • Merit order operation based on water value and efficiency
• • Inter station economic load dispatch

Relative Turbine Efficiency Measurement

• • Using Variation of Tailrace Water Level

Unit and Plant Energy Audit and Energy Losses Monitoring

• • Developing energy balance

Performance Monitoring

• • Components
• • Operation
