Determination of Effective Parameters for Hydropower Plants’ Energy Generation: A Case Study
Source abstract
Abstract
The current study aims to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the key parameters that affect the energy output of the Bagisli Hydropower Plant, located on the Zap River in the Dicle (Tigris) basin of Turkey. It considers the daily data for the time interval of 2016–2019 related to flow rate, precipitation, and temperature in relation to the generation of electricity. The relationship between energy output and flow rate is evident; however, the energy production is limited by the design flow rate. The largest flow rates were seen during the spring season after the occurrence of peak precipitation, which exhibited a shifting pattern. Similarly, energy generation also reaches its highest level during this time period. Another outcome of this study is that there is no apparent association between daily precipitation and daily energy generation. Moreover, a novel correlation with an R2 value of 0.89 has been proposed, in the deviation band of ±20%, to estimate energy generation when only flow rate data are available.
