As metodologias normalmente utilizadas para otimizar as dimensões de uma usina hidroelétrica, incluindo os métodos empregados pelo Setor Elétrico Brasileiro, baseiam-se em análises do tipo custo/benefício. Os custos provêm de gastos diretos com a construção da usina e os benefícios correspondem a receitas proporcionadas pela venda de energia. Para avaliar os benefícios, são realizadas simulações da operação da usina e a energia produzida é valorizada economicamente. Esta necessidade das simulações da operação faz com que o problema de dimensionamento não possua uma função analítica explícita para determinar os benefícios energéticos, o que dificulta a implementação de métodos tradicionais de otimização. O objetivo deste trabalho é justamente desenvolver e implementar uma metodologia de dimensionamento que permita que o processo de busca pelas dimensões ótimas seja automático. Para tanto, acoplam-se um modelo de otimização evolutiva e um modelo de simulação da operação de sistemas hidroelétricos. Adicionalmente, o modelo proposto também deve ser flexível, permitindo que as regras de operação do sistema hidroelétrico, o conjunto de vazões afluentes, a forma de valorização da energia gerada e uma série de outros fatores sejam tratados como parâmetros do modelo. Os resultados encontrados indicam que, sob o ponto de vista computacional, o modelo proposto é automático, flexível e eficiente. Além disso, as várias análises de sensibilidade realizadas atestam a consistência da metodologia proposta e permitem avaliar a forma como os diferentes parâmetros do modelo influenciam as próprias dimensões da usina sob dimensionamento. A partir destas análises, sugerem-se algumas medidas de regulamentação e planejamento para que as dimensões de novas usinas não sejam determinadas a partir de sinalizações imprecisas de parâmetros que influenciam de forma decisiva suas dimensões ótimas. / The methods normally applied to optimally size a hydropower plant, including the ones used by the Brazilian Power Industry, are based on cost/benefit analysis. The costs are due to direct expenses with the hydropower plant construction and the benefits correspond to incomes from selling energy. The benefits are evaluated throughout computing simulations of the hydropower plant operation, followed by the assignment of an economical value to the energy produced by it. The need for computing simulations turns out a non-analytical objective function for the sizing problem, what makes the use of traditional optimization tools very hard. The objective of this work is just to develop and implement a sizing method that automatically performs the search for the optimal sizes of a hydropower plant. The proposed method combines an evolutionary optimization technique and a simulation model for the operation of hydropower systems. Additionally, the proposed model is also flexible in the sense that the operation rules for the hydroelectric system simulation, the set of water inflows, the way the energy is valued and some other factors that may influence the results are treated as parameters. The results show that, from the computing point of view, the proposed method is automatic, flexible and efficient. Furthermore, the sensitivity analyses performed validate the method consistency and establish relationships among the different parameters and the way they affect the optimal features of the new hydropower plant. Based on the results of such analyses, some regulation and planning measures are suggested in order to avoid sizing hydropower plants with mistaken parameters that can substantially change its optimal features.

Esta Dissertação traz uma discussão sobre a necessidade de haver políticas de incentivo à existência de almoxarifado de operação em usinas hidrelétricas que renovaram suas concessões através da Lei 12.783/13 passando a pertencer ao regime de cotas de garantia física, e seus efeitos imediatos para a disponibilidade do sistema gerador e para a segurança de operação do sistema elétrico brasileiro, estabelecendo conexões do ambiente regulatório/econômico com o mundo físico/real. Com base nas teorias de confiabilidade, métodos de gestão de ativos e políticas de operação e manutenção, analisa-se a situação real do parque gerador hidrelétrico com mais de 30 anos de operação, e as consequências do aumento das taxas de falhas e redução de vida útil, explanando a necessidade de se promover uma forma de incentivo que corrija as assimetrias regulatórias estabelecidas, envolvendo as penalidades e os benefícios percebidos tanto pelo lado do agente regulado, quanto pelo lado do consumidor final. No texto deste trabalho, verifica-se uma discrepância entre os custos de O&M reais e regulatórios, induzindo duas análises possíveis: Para o caso em que as remunerações são superiores aos custos reais, a penalização proposta pelo regulador não é suficiente para induzir investimentos em almoxarifados, dado que o retorno não condiz com o custo de oportunidade do capital empregado. Já para o caso em que as remunerações são inferiores aos custos reais, as penalidades podem impor um desequilíbrio econômico-financeiro da gestão dos ativos, anulando os incentivos para manutenção da disponibilidade através da imobilização de ativos sobressalentes. Estes casos demonstram, de forma simples, a existência de uma falha no sinal dado pelo regulador para a manutenção da qualidade do serviço, medido através dos índices de disponibilidade. Ressalta-se que a degradação dos ativos pertencentes às usinas cotistas não só é prejudicial para a busca pela modicidade tarifária, mas também poderá ser crítica para a operação do sistema em um período em que as hidrelétricas existentes terão um papel fundamental o gerenciamento de carga com a entrada de fontes intermitentes no sistema elétrico brasileiro. Para isso, o trabalho está estruturado em sete capítulos: (1) introdução; (2) o modelo regulatório vigente; (3) usinas hidrelétricas e seus sistemas; (4) confiabilidade e taxa de falha; (5) estudo de caso 1 - qualidade do serviço prestado; (6) estudo de caso 2 - avaliação dos impactos sistêmicos e (7) considerações finais. / This Dissertation brings a discussion about the need of creating politics to incentive the existence of operational warehouses in Regulated Hydropower Plants, regarding the immediate effects in the availability and reliability of the Brazilian Electrical System - linking the regulatory environment to the physical world. Based in reliability theories, asset management theories and operational & maintenance polices, the work analyses the real performance of those he Regulated Hydropower Plants that are in operation for more than 30 years of operation, looking at the consequences of the growing of failure rates by going toward the end of the forecasted life-time of the main systems and equipment. By that, it aims to explain the need of promoting incentives that corrects the regulatory asymmetry involving the penalties and bonuses perceived by the regulated agent and the final consumer. Through this work, a discrepancy between the real and the regulatory O&M costs is noted, what leads to two different analysis: On the one hand, for those agents with regulated revenue greater than the real O&M costs, there is no incentive to spent their capital in spare parts due to the opportunity cost of that capital. On the other hand, the for those agent with regulated revenue lower than the real O&M costs, the penalties can easily impose an economic-financial imbalance, also nulling the incentives to immobilize assets in spare parts. Those two examples demonstrate in a simple way the failure in the sign given by the regulator to guarantee the quality of service of those Power Plants. It is divided into seven chapters: (1) introduction; (2) the current regulatory model; (3) hydropower plant and its systems; (4) reliability and failure rate; (5) study case 1 - quality of service; (6) study case 2 - evaluation of systemic impacts and (7) final considerations.

Dagens samhälle är beroende av el, allt från att få rent vatten i kranen till att kunna tanka bilen kräver el. Vattenkraftverk står för nästan 50% av dagens elproduktion i Sverige vilket medför att vattenkraft är en väsentlig verksamhet för att få samhället att fungera. Ur ett miljöperspektiv anses vattenkraft vara mer miljövänlig än el som produceras på fossila bränslen. I och med den stora rollen vattenkraft spelar i dagens samhälle är det viktigt att förebygga eventuella olyckor och produktionsstopp, till exempel bränder. Bränder har tidigare förekommit på vattenkraftverk runt om i världen. Colorado är ett exempel där det började brinna i det brandfarliga materialet som arbetades med i en tunnel på stationen. Detta resulterade i en brand där flera arbetare blev instängda i en tunnel under marken, samtliga omkom då det endast fanns en utrymningsväg. I vattenkraftstationer som är belägna under marken är det vanligt förekommande att det endast finns en utrymningsväg. Olyckan påvisar den komplexitet som finns vid dimensionering av vattenkraftstationer under marken. Syftet och målet med detta projekt har varit att identifiera brandrisker på två vattenkraftverk och finna passande åtgärder för att minimera och förebygga dessa. För att uppnå projektets mål har bland annat en litteraturstudie genomförts för att ge en förståelse över problem som kan uppstå. En riskidentifiering genom platsbesök har också genomförts för att se hur det ser ut i verkligheten på de två vattenkraftstationerna. Det har även gjorts en datasimulering för att ge en uppfattning av rökspridningen, denna datasimulering har genomförts med hjälp av Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS). Litteraturstudien påvisade, genom statistik från MSB:s databas IDA, att transformatorbränder är en av de största riskerna i anläggningar under marken. Vid platsbesöket på Messaure, ett vattenkraftverk, fanns det endast lokaltransformatorer placerade under marken. Dessa lokaltransformatorer var av typen torrtransformator vilket medför en mindre brandrisk. Tidigare fanns även övriga transformatorer under mark men dessa är flyttade ovan mark för att minimera brandrisken. Till skillnad från Messaure fanns Akkats, ett vattenkraftverk, transformator placerad under mark i en egen transformatorhall vilket utgör en egen brandcell. Entrén till denna fanns i direkt anslutning till tillfartstunneln som också används för utrymning. För att undersöka hur mycket en brand i transformatorhallen skulle påverka utrymningen valdes detta utrymme för en FDS-analys. Den slutsatsen som kan dras är att skulle dörren stå öppen skulle en brand i transformatorn ha en stor negativ inverkan på utrymningen. Rökutvecklingen skedde snabbt och röken strömmade tidigt ut i tillfartstunneln vilket medförde en påverkan på all utrymning. Vanligtvis ska dörren till transformatorhallen vara stängd men den kan lätt glömmas öppen i och med att det inte finns en dörrstängare. En kostnadseffektiv förbättring vore att installera en dörrstängare, det skulle kunna rädda liv. / Today's society is dependent on electricity, from getting clean water in the faucet to being able to put fuel in the car electricity is required. Hydroelectric power plants account for almost half of today's production of electricity, which means that hydropower is a vital factor for the community to function. From an environmental perspective, hydropower is considered more environmentally friendly than electricity produced from fossil fuels. Since hydroelectric power plants play a big role in society makes it very important to prevent possible accidents and hold-ups in production, such as a fire. Fires have occurred at hydropower plants around the world. Colorado is an example where the fire started in the flammable material that was being used in a tunnel at the hydropower plant. This resulted in a fire where several workers were trapped in a tunnel underground, all workers died since there was only one escape route. In hydropower stations located underground, it is common that there is only one escape route. The accident demonstrates the complexity that exists in the dimensioning of hydropower stations underground. The purpose and goal of this project has been to identify fire risks at two hydropower plants and how to minimize and prevent them. In order to achieve the project's goals, a literature study has been conducted to provide an understanding for the problems that may arise. A risk investigation was also conducted at the hydropower plants to see what they look like in the reality. A computer simulation has also been made to give an idea of the smoke spread. This computer simulation has been performed using the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS). The literature study showed, through statistics from MSB's database IDA, that transformer fires are one of the biggest risks in underground facilities. During the visit to Messaure, a hydroelectric power plant, only the local transformers were placed below the ground. These local transformers were of a dry-transformer type, which results in a smaller fire hazard. Previously, there were also other transformers underground, but these are moved above ground to minimize the fire hazard. Unlike Messaure, Akkat's, a hydroelectric power plant, transformer was placed underground in a separate transformer hall, which is a separate fire cell. The entrance to this was directly adjacent to the access tunnel which is also used for evacuation. To investigate how much a fire in the transformer hall would affect the evacuation, this space was chosen for an FDS analysis. The conclusion that can be drawn is that if the door should be left open, a fire in the transformer would have a major negative impact on the evacuation. Smoke quickly streamed into the access tunnel, which has an effect on all evacuation. The door should always be closed . However, there is no automatic door closer, which can result in the door being left open. A cost-effective improvement would be to install a door closer, which could save lives.

This doctoral thesis is focused on hydraulic design of axial turbine by CFD and FEM analyses. The results are runners with nonuniform cascades. Nonuniform runners consist of blades with different axial positions, blades with different pitch angles in runner or indifferent blades. Each runner is designed with respect to 3D printing by FDM or SLS technology and hydraulic measuring. The analyses of the excitation frequencies, modal analysis, shape of the turbine operating range, maximal efficiency, output parameters and cavitation properties are emphasized.

The present thesis deals with the description of the current state on the course of Morava river from small hydro Kromeriz after a small water plant Hodonin. Subsequently, I deal with the description of search of weir plants and weirs for the construction of small hydropower (especially their heads, structures and, where appropriate, possible adaptation). Then I deal with completion new hydroelectric plants on this founded weir plants and weirs which are in section between the small hydroelectric power Kromeriz and Lanžhot city on the Czech Republic side (Brodské on the Slovak Republic side). In this work is mainly focus on the calculation of installed performance in individual locations (and also the calculation of achievable performance in these locations), machinery design (for the use of selected sets from Hydrohrom company) and the way the configuration of the power switch. If it is in those places, řeším even more possibilities of this construction is splavnění view of the river, especially in the field of Hodonin - Lanžhot. In addition, deals with the design of line side cubicle of each switch to local distribution networks (draft routes). In the last phase deals with the size of the production in each generation, calculations of costs of constructing these plants, approximate calculation of the production (of the flows of 2007) and time of return on your investment in the construction.

The rapidly evolving Nordic Power System demands enhanced flexibility and robustness in electricity production. The traditional role of hydropower plants in regulating the grid frequency has been challenged by new criteria for dynamic stability, which some units struggle to meet due to their relatively poor dynamic performance. This study addresses this challenge by investigating the potential of integrating optimal energy storage systems with hydropower plants. This study aimed to develop a tool that could streamline the process of converting a traditional hydropower plant into a hybrid unit using an optimal energy storage system. The problem is complex and requires an innovative approach that combines electrical engineering expertise with cutting-edge machine-learning algorithms. A comprehensive hydropower plant model, including governor control and mechanical and hydraulic subsystems, was developed and integrated with an energy storage system model to form a hybrid unit. This model was validated using real power plant data. Three distinct XGBoost Regressor models were trained using data samples generated from the optimized hybrid unit. These models aim to predict power and energy requirements for an optimal energy storage solution, including an estimation of wear and tear reduction. The XGBoost Power Regressor achieved a prediction accuracy of 92 % and the XGBoost Energy Regressor demonstrated a 95 % accuracy. The XGBoost Movement Regressor, indicating wear and tear, boasted an accuracy greater than 99 %. The integration of energy storage systems can significantly mitigate wear and tear on a hydropower plant, with reductions of up to 85 % or more. The results indicate that integrating energy storage systems with hydropower units can substantially enhance the dynamic performance, reduce wear and tear and enable the plants to meet the demanding requirements of providing frequency regulation services in the Nordic Power System. The findings of this study culminate in a robust and user-friendly tool capable of accurately estimating optimal energy storage requirements for any hydropower plant tasked with meeting frequency regulation service demands. / Det nordiska kraftsystemet är under snabb förändring och skiftar alltmera till elproduktion med krav på ökad flexibilitet och tillförlitlighet. Vattenkraftverkens traditionella roll som källa till reglering och stabilisering av nätfrekvensen, utmanas nu av nya krav på dynamisk prestanda och stabilitet. På grund av sina relativt dåliga prestanda har vissa vattenkraftverk svårigheter att uppfylla dessa nya krav. Detta examensarbete behandlar denna utmaning genom att undersöka möjligheterna att integrera optimala energilagringssystem med vattenkraftverk. Syftet med arbetet var att utveckla ett verktyg som skulle kunna effektivisera processen för att omvandla ett traditionellt vattenkraftverk till ett hybridkraftverk med hjälp av ett optimalt energilagringssystem. Detta är ett komplext problem som kräver ett innovativt tillvägagångssätt som kombinerar elkraftteknik med avancerade algoritmer för maskininlärning. En omfattande modell utvecklades för att simulera ett vattenkraftverk med styrsystem, mekaniska och hydrauliska system. Denna kraftverksmodell integrerades med en modell för ett energilagringssystem för att tillsammans bilda en hybridenhet. Modellens validitet verifierades med hjälp av verkliga testdata. Med hjälp av data från simuleringar av den optimerade hybridenheten kunde tre XGBoost-regressionsmodeller skapas för att estimera både effekt och energibehov för ett optimalt energilagringssystem. Utöver detta kunde även en uppskattning av minskning av slitage presenteras. XGBoost Power Regressor uppnådde en träffsäkerhet på 92 % och XGBoost Energy Regressor uppvisade en träffsäkerhet på 95 %. XGBoost Movement Regressor, som indikerar slitage, hade en noggrannhet på högre än 99 %. Integrering med energilagringssystem kan avsevärt minska slitaget på ett vattenkraftverk, med minskningar på upp till 85 % eller mer. Resultaten visar att integrering av energilagringssystem och vattenkraftverk väsentligt kan förbättra den dynamiska prestandan, minska slitage och göra det möjligt för kraftverken att uppfylla kraven för att bidra med frekvensregleringstjänster i det nordiska kraftsystemet. Resultaten av denna studie kulminerar i ett robust och användarvänligt verktyg som kan uppskatta ett optimalt energilagringsystem för ett vattenkraftverk som ska uppfylla kraven för frekvensreglering.

The increasing penetration of variable renewable energy sources in the Nordic Power System is causing frequency quality degradation and has increased the importance of primary frequency control provided by hydropower plants. Hydropower is the world’s largest renewable energy source. Its reliability, controllability and dispatchability along with its large storage volume makes it the most important source for providing frequency regulation in the Nordic Power System. Many hydropower plants offering regulating power have Kaplan turbines which have complex mechanical systems. Furthermore, the frequent and fast mechanical movements of the Kaplan turbines, providing frequency regulation causes the problem of wear and tear in the guide vanes and runner blades of the turbines. Kaplan turbines are suitable for stable operation.   To mitigate this problem, a solution of hybrid hydropower plants combined with  battery energy storage systems is investigated in this thesis, where batteries can take care of fast frequency deviations, allowing for a more stable operation of the turbines. The analysis is based on the FCR-N service offered by hydropower plants, because FCR-N is identified as one of the services that requires very fast changes in the output power of the hydropower plant. Modelling and simulation, data analysis and on-site measurement are adopted as main study methods in this thesis.  The simulation models of a hydropower plant and a hybrid hydropower plant are developed for the analysis. The simulation model of the hydropower plant is validated using data from a typical Swedish hydropower plant. Quantification of wear and tear is the main focus of the study. The performance of the hydropower plant and hybrid hydropower plant are compared in terms of wear and tear of turbines, speed of the response of plants to frequency deviations and number of directional changes during the mechanical movements of the turbine. Finally, it is concluded that, addition of batteries with hydropower plants will reduce wear and tear of the turbines as well as improve the frequency quality in the Nordic Power System.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar o balanço econômico de uma política de incentivos para as fontes de energia renovável, analisando em particular o caso das PCHs (Pequenas Centrais Hidrelétrica) inseridas no Proinfa, o Programa de Incentivo às Fontes Alternativas de Energia Elétrica. A análise é desenvolvida tomando por base a internalização de custos e benefícios para a sociedade do referido Programa. Dentre os benefícios, estão destacados o desenvolvimento de uma fonte alternativa de energia que diminui os impactos ambientais devidos às emissões de gases poluentes, tal como o CO2, NOx o SO2 e o material particulado. Dentre seus custos, o imposto a ser cobrado se faz necessário para que programas dessa natureza se realizem. Para tanto, a revisão da literatura se concentra em assuntos concernentes à avaliação de programas de incentivos, bem como sobre o desenho de políticas de subsídio e das formas que a economia encontra para lidar com externalidades. Em seguida, analisam-se as estruturas propostas de incentivos, verificando-se, à luz da teoria, se essas estruturas são apropriadas aos seus fins e procedendo-se a uma análise de custo/benefício destas. / This work has the objective to evaluate the economic balance of an incentive policy for renewable energy source (RES), in particular it analyses the SHP (Small Hydropower Plant) case into the Context of Proinfa, the Brazilian alternative electrical energy source incentive program.
