Assessment of the Reliability Performance of Hydro-Electric Power Station

The hydroelectric power station’s reliability performance is evaluated and displayed. The study aims to give enhanced criteria for future proposals and implementation to serve as a foundation for hydroelectric power station generation expansion planning. A hydroelectric power station has numerous units: reservoir, water steam, turbine, electric generator, powerhouse, and transformer. The authors used these components to construct their hydroelectric power model. It is assumed that the chance of failure and repair rate are constants. Chapman Kolmogorov differential equations are created using a transition state diagram. To solve the differential equation, utilize the Laplace transformation and MATLAB Tool. The hydroelectric power station performance is explicitly determined regarding availability, profitability, and MTTF. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis is performed for MTTF.
