Abstract: Optimal management of power plant units is achieved when the global efficiency of the units and the minimization of the total hydraulic head losses through the water transportation systems can be combined. Evaluating these hydraulic head losses appears to be very difficult due to the complexity of the flow conditions through the hydraulic structures. A hydraulic energy based method to determine head losses in the surge chamber has been proposed in this paper, as well as a method to manage the opening of units which would optimize the production of electricity. This ...
