Optimal hydraulic operation of a complex two reservoir hydro-electric systemOkun, Michael Howard January 1970 (has links)
This thesis presents an example of the use of dynamic programming for optimizing the hydraulic operation of a complex two reservoir hydroelectric
system in order to provide maximum firm power output. Records of natural inflows are used over a winter drawdown period for study purposes
and flow forecast procedures are discussed.
The system, owned by the Aluminum Company of Canada Ltd. (ALCAN), Arvida, P.Q., is described, including its operations and restrictions. Also described are the procedures used and the assumptions made for a daily simulation computer program which is used by ALCAN and was made available for purposes of this study. A description of dynamic programming
including definitions of the normally used terms "objective function, "stages" and "states" is given and is followed by a discussion of the limitations of the ALCAN program for direct use in the dynamic programming algorithm. A new simplified simulation routine that cuts computer costs drastically yet gives reasonable results is described. Assumptions of the new routine are stated and its operation is described. The dynamic programming computer routine is explained, followed by a short description
of the implications of system restrictions on the routine.
Comparisons between ALCAN simulation output and the dynamic programming routine output are made and the method of obtaining maximum firm power is indicated. Tests are made to determine the sensitivity of the "state" increment to computer costs and program accuracy.
For operational purposes, the dynamic programming routine can be used to determine optimal reservoir drawdown rule curves which can be then fed into the ALCAN simulation for daily operational purposes. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Civil Engineering, Department of / Graduate

The Power Politics of Hells CanyonAlford, John Matthew 08 1900 (has links)
This study examines the controversy regarding Hells Canyon on the Snake River, North America's deepest gorge. Throughout the 1950s, federal and private electric power proponents wrangled over who would harness the canyon's potential for generating hydroelectricity. After a decade of debate, the privately-owned Idaho Power Company won the right to build three small dams in the canyon versus one large public power structure. The thesis concludes that private development of Hells Canyon led to incomplete resource development. Further, support of private development led to extensive Republican electoral losses in the Pacific Northwest during the 1950s.

Implications of hydroelectric partnerships in northern Manitoba: do partnership agreements provide social licence?Dipple, Joseph 01 September 2015 (has links)
Over the past century, Manitoba has promoted the construction of hydroelectric dams as a means of producing energy. These projects are produced on Indigenous territory and bring these communities into direct conflict with the province and Manitoba Hydro. Recently, Manitoba Hydro has promoted partnerships with affected First Nations. These partnerships provide communities the “opportunity” to purchase shares of the dams with the goal of gaining profits. Partnerships have been established for two projects as a means of suggesting social licence. Social licence is an informal licence provided by a community to show support and consent for a project in their area. A progressive definition of social licence is when communities provide “free, prior, and informed consent.” Partnership agreements in northern Manitoba do not provide social licence, as the communities involvement in the project, and the means by which the partnership is established do not provide “free, prior, and informed consent.” / October 2015
