  1. 6. Optimal planning of hydropower

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för fysik och elektroteknik (IFE)

    Author : Alexander Svensson Marcial; [2020]
    Keywords : Dynamic programming; optimal control; switching; hydropower production planning;

    Abstract : We are currently witnessing a rapid expansion of renewable power production, an increase dominated by wind and solar power. These intermittent energy sources, while having low production costs, increases the uncertainty on the electrical markets. Hydropower is a renewable source of electricity that is capable of controlled production. READ MORE

  3. 7. A cost-optimal and geospatial analysis for the power system of Sierra Leone

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Richard Budianto; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In 2014, the electricity access in Sierra Leone was almost 13.1%, consisting of 42% in urban areas and 1% in rural areas. The high transmission and distribution losses in the national grid, the insufficient generation capacity, and regulatory constraints are also some of the country´s challenges in the power sector (SEforALL Africa Hub, 2018).

  4. 8. Future Scenarios for Energy Security and Sustainable Desalination in Jordan

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Miles Weinstein; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Jordan is one of the most water-scarce countries in the world and contains very limited reserves of traditional energy resources. In fact, the country is classified as extremely water scarce according to FAO, with a water availability of less than 100 m3 per person annually. READ MORE

  5. 9. Optimal Production Planning for Small-Scale Hydropower

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Anna-Linnea Towle; [2018]
    Keywords : Optimisation; optimization; hydropower planning; self-adaptive; automatic control; optimal planning; Optimering; vattenkraftplanering; självreglerande; automatisk styrning; optimal planering;

    Abstract : As more and more renewable energy sources like wind and solar power are added to the electricgrid, reliable sources of power like hydropower become more important. Hydropower isabundant in Scandinavia, and helps to maintain a stable and reliable grid with added irregularitiesfrom wind and solar power, as well as more fluctuations in demand. READ MORE

  6. 10. Evaluation of Seasonal Inflow Forecasting to Support Multipurpose Reservoir Management: A case study for the Upper Maule River Basin, Chile

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Johan Visser; [2017]
    Keywords : Seasonal Forecasting; Reservoir Management; Ensemble Streamflow Prediction; Downscaling; Maule; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Seasonal hydrological forecasts of future streamflow volumes can provide water resources managers with valuable information to improve long-term water resources planning and water use efficiency. The latest generation of coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation models provides an opportunity for the prediction of hydroclimatic variables (e.g. READ MORE
