A FUZZY GATE OPERATION MODEL OF HYDRO-POWER PLANT FOR FLOOD SITUATION

Abstract

A gate operation model for the hydro-power plant during a flood is proposed by the use of fuzzy theory. First, three types of empirical equation which decide the target release are extracted from the questionnaire to gate operators. Second, the parameters of these equations are determined throuth fuzzy inference from deviation of water level, change of the deviation and changing rate of inflow discharge. The operation model proposed here is applied to the real hydropower plant and it is verified that the system performance ia almost at the same level of that of skilled operators.
