“…These demands vary considerably from season to season. In order to maximize storage so as to ensure constant electrical power supply, it is necessary to find a way of recycling the water used to turn the turbine [22]. Hence a pumped storage, the basic principle of the pumped storage goes thus, the release from the reservoir is pumped to a storage tank where it can be used to return the turbine during the period of drought, thus ensuring constant supply of electricity the year round.…”

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 between them are core to proper planning and management of a hydroelectric power station. In this Study, simple mathematical methods that include linear programming and statistical analysis based on simulation techniques were used to evaluate vital parameters based on the data obtained from the Hydrologic units of the Shiroro Power Stations in Nigeria. The overall aim of the study is to idealize power generation at Shiroro dam in and out of raining season so as to ensure optimum generation of electricity all year round in order to achieve energy sufficiency in Nigeria. The result of the study is encouraging as it supports the viability of the pumped storage system for generating hydroelectric power all year round. The coupling of the hydroelectric power with pumped storage system if properly harnessed could be the needed panacea for the erratic power supply in Nigeria.

“…McMahon and Farmer (2004) and Carter (2010 outline institutional and technical issues involved in implementing reallocations of reservoir storage capacity. Wurbs (1996) and Labadie (2004) review the massive literature on applying systems analyses techniques to optimization of reservoir operations. Wurbs (2011) provides a comparative review of generalized reservoir/river system simulation models including the WRAP modeling system employed in the study reported in this paper.…”

Multiple-purpose reservoir system operations are based on the conflicting objections of maximizing storage contents to assure high water supply reliability and maximizing empty storage space to mitigate flood risk. Reallocation of storage capacity between conservation and flood control purposes provides a strategy for optimizing limited available storage capacity in response to growing demands and changing objectives. A modeling and analysis methodology is presented in the article for assessing alternative reservoir storage allocations. Flood control capabilities are evaluated in terms of the probabilities of overtopping the storage capacities of the reservoirs in the system. Water supply capabilities are quantified in terms of reliability metrics. Flood control analysis capabilities are implemented in a modeling system originally created for detailed assessments of water supply capabilities. The methodology is applied to a system of eight multiple-purpose reservoirs in the Dallas and Fort Worth metropolitan area in the Trinity River Basin of Texas in the United States. The generalized modeling system and analysis methods are applicable to reservoir systems located anywhere including systems that may be very complex.

Water systems planning and management share the same roots with gaming, as they rely on concepts in systems analysis, operations research and decision sciences. This paper focuses on Serious Games (those used for purposes other than mere entertainment), with applications in the area of water systems planning and management. A survey of published work on gaming is carried out with particular attention given to applications of Serious Gaming to water systems planning and management. The survey is also used to identify the principal criteria for the classification of Serious Gaming for water related applications, including application areas, goals, number and type of players, user interface, type of simulation model used, realism of the game, performance feedback, progress monitoring and game portability. The review shows that game applications in the water sector can be a valuable tool for making various stakeholders aware of the socio-techno-economic issues related to managing complex water systems. However, the critical review also indicates a gap that exists in the Serious Game application area with the lack of water distribution system games. A conceptually simple, but computationally elaborate new game for water distribution system analysis, design and evaluation (SeGWADE) is presented in this paper. It has a main goal of finding a least-cost design for a well-known benchmark problem, for which the game environment takes the computational and visualisation burden away from the simulation tool and the player. The game has been evaluated in a classroom environment in which a high degree of player engagement with the game was observed, due to its basic game ingredients and activities, i.e., challenge, play and fun. In addition, a clear improvement in learning has been observed in how players attempted to identify solutions that satisfy the pressure criterion with players readily identifying the proximity of the better solutions to the starting, infeasible configuration. Through applications of Serious Gaming such as this, decision makers can learn about the complexity of the water distribution system design problem, experiment safely using a computer model of a real system, understand conflicting objectives (i.e., minimization of cost and satisfaction of minimum pressure) and develop strategies for coping with complexity without being burdened by the limitations of the ICT technology at their disposal.
