Abstract
This paper presents a computer aided system for managing, controlling and analyzing data from hydroelectric plants. The proposed system consists of three modules. The first is a relational database that organizes, standardizes and manages data from hydroelectric plants. The second module allows a user to build, store and manage advanced queries on this or certain other databases. The third is a simulator of the hydroelectric plants operation which can be used for planning the future operation or reproducing the past operation. The computational implementation of these modules uses the Object-Oriented Paradigm, the C++ Programming Language and the Structured Query Language (SQL). The data manager, the queries builder and the simulator were tested with data from Brazilian hydroelectric plants and the results show the potential of this system for the analysis and consistency evaluation of data from hydroelectric plants.
