| Abstract | An implicit Stochastic Dynamic Programming Model together with generated failure sequence of generating units is developed for an existing reservoir and power station to derive the optimum operation rules and to recognize the advantage of including these failure considerations.
Incremental dynamic programming technique implicitly determines the optimum decision sequence for each of ten sets of synthetic streamflow sequences which are generated by using Thomas-Fiering Model. Simultaneously, each of ten sets of generated availability(of failure) sequences which are produced by using general discrete distribution random deviate generator is incorporated into the energy production constraint in the optimization Process.
The Ta-Chia River Basin in Taiwan, ROC is selected as a case study. In which, the most upstream Te-Chi Reservoir as a vital of five regulating pondages downstream in series is really concerned in the study. The related Te-Chi power plant is the source of failure data of generating units.
A simulation study is carried out to evaluate the performance of implicit SDP based operation policies and to assess the effectiveness of considering the failure of generating units.
Finally, the performance values for the cases of with and without considering the availability of generating units are compared. In view of the results, the implicit SDP model along with consideration of the availability sequences can be used for planning the operation of reservoir and power plant. |
