Abstract
  • This simulation is a model for a tidal power-peaking plant that can be used to determine the electrical peaking generation for a given set of conditions. The simulation internally contains a tide producing function for a specific year, the hydraulic characteristics of the plant, and the plant's machines' characteristics. The operator submits an expected load profile curve for some day, the date for that curve, and the state of the estuary some time previous to the time of the expected load. The operator can then select an operating mode and its net results from one of the six possible operating modes predicted by the computer. These states include various use combinations of a full or empty estuary, with or without the use of pumping operation to attain a greater head. The simulation can be run on an individual day basis or on a consecutive daily basis. This was programmed for an IBM 1620 computer with 40k digits of storage. This program uses approximately 38k digits of storage.
