0441: Efficient Hydropower Outage Planning & Reporting - Phase 1: Assessment

Project Overview & Objectives:This project would be structured in two parts. The first part consists in the benchmarking of outage planning and reporting requirements, methods and tools. It would assess the best practices of outage planning and reporting among utilities, including internal and external communications, and available products and tools (including commercially-available Outage Management Systems (“OMS”) and optimization tools) that currently or could potentially support these t

0433B: Streamflow Assessment Toolkit for Changing Conditions - Phase 2

Many regions and countries rely on hydropower as a renewable, flexible and efficient family of technologies to generate electricity. Climate change introduces more variability and uncertainty in the availability of water inflows. Understanding the ways in which climate could evolve and assessing the potential impacts of various climate change scenarios on streamflow are crucial to understand how hydropower asset operations could evolve in the coming decades. Many studies have been devoted to ide

0252: CPF: Estimating Inflows and Associated Uncertainties - Guidelines

Understanding the hazards that arise from rare to extreme floods is important for reservoir management in terms of dam safety, maintenance, and operational perspectives. Estimates of floods are affected by substantial uncertainties from the natural variability inherent in the temporal and spatial extent of precipitation, runoff and flood-flow routing, knowledge uncertainty regarding the characterization of rare to extreme events, and the deep uncertainty associated with human actions and climate

0437: Hydropower Optimization and Decision Support System Techniques Review

Operating a hydropower system of reservoirs and plants is a complex process that requires consideration of a wide spectrum of constraints, such as water availability, electricity demand, environmental constraints, operating costs, and revenue structure. Hydropower optimal scheduling has been a well-studied area in the scientific community for several decades and continues to draw significant interest. Therefore, there is rich and diverse literature on optimization techniques for hydropower syste

0436: CPF: Capitalizing on Recent Advances in Data Assimilation Techniques to Improve Inflow Forecasts

This document aims to guide hydropower operators in the selection of the most appropriate combination of data assimilation (DA) techniques, their implementation, and data products to achieve improved reservoir inflow forecasts.The document has been carefully structured to perform the function of a combined decision matrix and roadmap designed to account for different user situations and the variety and complexity of the options available. Decision matrices are useful tools that support the selec
