Dynamic Control of the Water Level during the Operation of a Hydropower Plant Reservoir, taking into Account the Forecast Flood Period

Optimizing the operation of cascaded hydropower plants is critical, as it has important environmental and economic implications. The results of this optimization include such main goals as: the creation of functional protection for floods and floods, an uninterrupted supply of water for drinking purposes, irrigation and industrial use, as well as maximum energy production. In this paper, we present a system we have developed based on a large-scale and scalable runoff forecasting and river basin optimization system. Using the example of the Poduzhemskaya HPP in the Republic of Karelia, Russia, the system has shown that it has a complete set of functions necessary for the optimal operation of a hydroelectric power plant. The system provides a variety of planning schemes that will help achieve optimal management of the reservoir during the operation of the HPP. While the system has proven to be effective in the day-to-day operation of the Poduzhemskaya HPP reservoir, there are still a number of areas that need improvement.
