  2. CONTENT • We will show... • HydroSim XP Startup Tutorial • Logon • New study • Choosing plants and reservoirs • Time horizon • Decision input data • Setup Inflow • Reservoir initial volume • Save and Run the study • Result analyzes

  3. HYDROEXPERT LOGON • Run HydroExpert • Desktop version • Double click the HydroExpert into your desktop area. • Mobile version • Find HydroExpertLaunch into your pen drive or SD card. Select HydroExpert or HydroData and click on “Start” button. • Logon with Convidado • This is the “Guest” logon.

  4. NEW STUDY • Create a New Study under HydroSim XP Model • Choose HydroSim XP • In the HydroExpert’s “Study Navigator” click on “HydroSim > HydroSim XP” model category. • Use the Study menu • Choose the "Study > New..." menu command. You will see a "New Study" created with the 98 MW “UHE Jurumirim" hydroplant on it. • HydroData • Here you can navigate in the Brazilian’s 150-plant database.

  5. CHOOSE PLANT AND RESERVOIR • Change the Simulation Horizon • Time Horizon • With the "Simulation horizon" controls, choose a time horizon to your study. • For example, change the number of days to 7 (one week). • Change the time interval from 30 minutes to one hour using the “Config” tab into "Simulation horizon“ panel.

  6. DECISION INPUT DATA • Determine the Operation • Operation & Decision • Select the "Policy" tab. Fill out the "Outflow" (in m³/s) column as an decision policy for this reservoir. For example, you can fill out 300 m³/s. • Hint: fill out one cell, right click on it and choose “Replicate Cells” to fill the entire column. • You can decide Hydro Generation and unit commitment (columns “H. Gen.” and “*”).

  7. SETUP INFLOW • Fill out the Reservoir’s Inflow • Reservoir’s Inflow • Select the "Inflow" tab. Fill out the "Incremental inflow grid" (in m³/s) for the "Jurumirim" reservoir. For example, you can fill out 50 m³/s. This example will simulate a operational scenario with high outflows compared to the inflows. • Hint: fill out one cell, right click on it and choose “Replicate Cells” to fill the entire column.

  8. RESERVOIR’S INITIAL VOLUME • Setup the Reservoir’s Initial Condition • Reservoir’s Initial Volume • Select the "Advanced" tab. Setup some "Initial volume" for the "Jurumirim" reservoir. For example, setup at 80% of usage. • Note: the “Limit volume” permits setup a security level as a constraint to the reservoir operation.

  9. SAVE AND RUN • Let’s Run this Study • Simulating... • Save your study data with the "Study > Save" menu. • To run the simulation model, use the "Study > Run" menu, or type the F9 key. • Results? Let’s see the “Results” tab...

  10. RESULTS ANALYZES • Simulated Trajectories • Results Tab • First, let’s see the flow trajectories. • We can note that the 300 m³/s trajectory is equal to the Turbine Discharge. In other words, no spill will be present in this operation. • The discharge/outflow trajectory also satisfy the minimum outflow and maximum discharge limits.

  11. RESULTS ANALYZES • Simulated Trajectories • The Storage Impact • With the outflow equals to 300 m³/s and with inflow equals to 50 m³/s, it is expected that the reservoir gets empty. • You can change the volume (vertical) axis to: • Water level (m); • Absolute volume (hm³, cubic hectometer); • Volume usage (%).

  12. RESULTS ANALYZES • Advanced Simulation Results • Turbine Efficiency • The HydroSim XP can calculate Turbine Efficiency using the associated Hill Curve. • The Efficiency Hill Curve is stored in HydroData database and is automatically imported at the study creation step. • At HydroData frame you can find the “Paranapanema > Jurumirim” plant. See “Powerhouse > Units > Hill Curve” tabs.

  13. RESULTS ANALYZES • Advanced Simulation Results • Hydro Generation • We can see the hydroelectric generation associated with the turbine release of 300 m³/s. • The generation trajectory is continuously decreasing due to the decreasing levels from the reservoir storage. • Also, we can see that the simulation model dispatches an 2-unit commitment to maximize the outflow.
