Hydro Power Hydrology {renpow}

Hydro Power Hydrology functions

Description

Hydrological calculations in hydroelectric power generation

Usage

area.vol(xav)
model.flow(mf)

Arguments

xav

area.vol is a list(H,B,W,L) H pool elevation (m), B bottom elevation (m), W width (km), L tail length (km)

mf

list(base.flow,peak.flow,day.peak,length.season,variab,coef)

flow

flow time series resulting from model.flow

label

label for flow

exc

exceedance levels as a result of exceed

nyrs

number of years

Details

Value

X

list(y,proby, prob, Q, Prob.Qmean, prob.Q)

Examples

x <- list(H=130,B=100,W=10,L=100)
area.vol(x)

x <- list(base.flow=20,peak.flow=100,day.peak=200,length.season=90,
          variab=c(0.01,2),coef=c(0.4,0.3,0.2,0.1))
flow <- model.flow(x)
flow.plot(flow,label="Simulated flow (m3/s)")
exc <- exceed(flow)
exc$prob.Q
flow.exc.plot(flow,exc,label="Simulated flow (m3/s)")
