Improvement of hydroelectric power generation using pumped storage system

Abstract: Hydroelectric power is a renewable source of energy. By principle, hydroelectric power generation relies on the law of conservation of energy where kinetic energy that resulted from the movement of the mass of water from the river is translated into electricity, the quantum of which depends on systemic variables viz: plant efficiency, volumetric water flow through the turbine and the head of the water from the water surface to the turbine. Understanding the dynamics of these variables, and the correlation betw… Show more

“…The paper addressed the information from official generation sources and does not consider or include generation involving private organizations of which virtually all in the recent past have had to maintain a sizeable capacity and the small informal generating plants that have become the average person's response to the very inadequate power supply. The amount of electricity generated hydroelectric plants is proportional to the energy of the water at the top of the water column [18], [19]. Consequently, the electric power generated is proportional to the product of the head and the rate of flow and can be expressed as (1).…”

“…To optimize the efficiency and output of hydropower plants like Shiroro various factors come into play. The flow rate of water, head of water, and turbine size all influence the plant's performance [2]. Swarm intelligence-based optimization algorithms, such as PSO, ACO, and ABCO are utilized to achieve the best possible outcomes [11].…”

“…Water from the upstream will flow through the tunnel and towards the turbine which located in the power station [2]. Due to high location of water entrance, the potential energy of water can be converted into the electrical energy based on law of energy conservation [2,3]. According to Kulkarni et al, [4], some important parameters such as hydraulic characteristics and flow of water from upstream as well as downstream need to be studied for the dam structure.…”
