  1. 1. Dynamic Warning Signals and Time Lag Analysis for Seepage Prediction in Hydropower Dams : A Case Study of a Swedish Hydropower Plant

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Datalogi

    Author : Lovisa Olsson; Julia Hellström; [2023]
    Keywords : hydropower; dam safety; dam monitoring; seepage; prediction models; data-driven methods; artificial intelligence; AI;  linear regression; Support Vector Regression; SVR; Long Short-Term Memory; LSTM;

    Abstract : Hydropower is an important energy source since it is fossil-free, renewable, and controllable. Characteristics that become especially important as the reliance on intermittent energy sources increases. However, the dams for the hydropower plants are also associated with large risks as a dam failure could have fatal consequences. READ MORE

    Abstract : Tailings storage facilities (TSFs) serve as structures for storing tailings, i.e., waste materials generated by the mining industry. READ MORE

  4. 3. Use of Digital Image Correlation for monitoring of concrete buttress dam failure model tests

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Jarl Jensen; Markus Leijström; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The monitoring of dam structures is of great importance for the safety of the dam.A dam failure can cause disastrous consequences for people and infrastructure downstream.Dams are monitored by periodic inspections and monitoring systems. READ MORE

  5. 4. Installation of cables for monitoring purposes in the ground by using Horizontal Directional Drilling

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi; Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI)

    Author : Eduardo Garcia Cañas; [2022]
    Keywords : HDD; Earth Embankment Dam; Resistivity; ERT; IP; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The median age for Swedish earth embankment dams is about 60 years. Due to its longevity, one of the major concerns is the internal erosion causing increased seepage through the dam, which ultimately may increases the risk for dam failure. To meet this challenge, there is a need for improved monitoring methods. READ MORE

  6. 5. Design of Miniature Three-Phase Dump Load Model

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Elektricitetslära

    Author : Tiffany Salisbury; Muhammad Arsal Akram; [2022]
    Keywords : Hydropower; Dump load; Resistive load; Grid regulation;

    Abstract : In hydropower plants, a local load, also known as a dump load, could be installed to balance theelectrical grid by consuming excessive power. This enhances the dam safety. A design for asmall-scaled three-phase dump load is presented in this thesis. The designed model is built andevaluated through simulations and experiments. READ MORE
