Hydro System Power Analysis by Digital Computer
Publication: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume 128, Issue 1
Abstract
Use of electronic data processing has greatly advanced the process of making and analyzing system power studies in the North Pacific Division Office of the Corps of Engineers. The studies are made on the electronic digital computer with a program that can handle systems of up to seventy hydroelectric projects in the 2,000-word internal memory of the IBM 650. The program computes power generation at each project in the system, tests for limits, adjusts regulation where necessary to avoid violation of these limits, regulates storages to produce energy equal to the specified system load, and derives additional information that is used in system regulation analysis.
