A Hydroelectric Power Plant Brief: Classification and Application of Artifactual Intelligence

EasyChair Preprint 9664

Abstract

The energy generated using water force in hydropower plants can be a non-polluting, suitable, and stable alternative to traditional fossil fuels and various renewable electrical energy sources. Hydropower has one of the highest conversion efficiencies in comparison to other renewable energy sources. The main part of a hydropower plant is the hydro turbine, and the appropriate maintenance and operation of all the other components are crucial for producing electrical energy as efficiently as possible. The essential roles of the hydroelectric power plant are the generation of electric energy, the storage of irrigation water, the storage of drinking water supply, and the control of floods in the rivers. A brief overview of hydroelectric power plant classification is presented in this study. This classification is based on the output power generated by the peak water drop and storage. Based on the condition of water, there are several kinds of classification for hydroelectric energy plants, of which a pump storage water plant is more applicable. Impoundment, diversion, and pumped storage are the three varieties of hydroelectric power plants. Furthermore, the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the various parts of a hydroelectric power plant is reviewed.

Keyphrases: Artifactual Intelligence (AI), Classification, Hydroelectric, generated power output, power plant
