Hydroelectric power plants are a key factor in the production of electrical energy and ensuring the reliability of the operation of power system.
The master's thesis is divided into three parts, which connect each other.
The first part presents hydropower plants, a description of the operation of the hydropower plant, the presentation of the main parts of the hydropower plant, the presentation of the entire chain of hydropower plants on the Soča river and its specific operational features.
The second part presents the model of the chain of hydropower plants. In this section, we describe how the model is composed, describe the individual parts of the model, its characteristics and operation.
The last part presents the validation of the model, the comparison of results from the model and the real data obtained from measurements on the object.
In the analysis of the functioning of the model, all relevant parts of the chain were compared, which influence the accuracy of the model's operation. Accumulations, the flows of water through turbines and the rise of the lower water in individual hydropower plant were analysed. Comparison of the results between the results of the model and the real values showed satisfactory operation of the model. No major deviations were observed. The errors increased as the water traveled towards the last of the HPP in the chain, but they were still within the permissible limits that allowed the chain to function properly.
