Behavioural analysis of a hydroelectric production power plant under reworking scheme.

By high calibre of the fundamental nature of electric power, both of our economic and personal interests, a system is expected to supply as electrical energy as possible with the highest degree of quality and reliability. This research work aimed to evaluate the reliability measures of a hydroelectric power station. The results of this study are deliberate to provide the improved criteria for upcoming proposals, and serves as a basis for generation expansion planning of hydroelectric power stations. This paper presents a Markov-process based mathematical model for a hydroelectric power plant. The important reliability measures have been derived and discussed with the help of failure and repair rates through the analysis. This research gives a clear view of how the hydropower plants are modelled by defining the states under the failure and repair rates. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
