Simulation models for Bekhma reservoir operation system : comparison study

الملخص EN

Simulation procedures have been developed to test the performance of Bekhma reservoir system using two simulation models viz: HEC-ResSim (Model-I) and Simulink based technique (Model-II).

In the present study being reported, one of the simulations modeling process requirement is to disaggregate the monthly inflow data into daily based data, and as far as the demand from Bekhma reservoir is of concern, a constant value of 332m3/sec has been proposed based on the achievement of high reliability level in Model-I and 318 m3/sec for the same reliability in Model-II.

In order to test the performance of the reservoir system in generating hydroelectric power, the same set of data have been introduced to both models , the average power generated by first model was 510.3 MW while the second was 495.9 MW which they are closed to each other .

In addition the current research work is considered as an opportunity to check the capability of Simulink approach in modeling water resource systems in general and reservoir systems in particular.
