Class to represent Hydro-energy Powerplant

Attributes:

namestr

identifier

efficiencyfloat

Efficiency coefficient (mu) used in hydropower formula

max_turbine_flowfloat

Maximum possible flow that can be passed through the turbines for the purpose of hydroenergy production

head_start_levelfloat

Minimum elevation of water level that is used to calculate hydraulic head for hydropower production

max_capacityfloat

Total design capacity (mW) of the plant

water_level_coefffloat

Coefficient that determines the water level based on the volume of outflow Used to calculate at what level the head of the power plant operates

water_usagefloat

Amount of water that is used by plant, decimal coefficient

Methods:

determine_reward():

Calculates the reward (power generation) given the values of its attributes

determine_consumption():

Determines how much water is consumed by the power plant

determine_info():

Returns info about the hydro-energy powerplant

determine_consumption() → float

Determines water consumption.

Returns:

float

How much water is consumed

determine_info() → dict

Determines info of hydro-energy power plant

Returns:

dict

Info about power plant (name, inflow, outflow, water usage, timestep, total production)

determine_month() → int

determine_production() → float

Calculates power production in MWh , when tailwater and turbine data is not available

Returns:

float
