Abstract
In this paper the modes of operation of hydropower plants developed for use in a simulation
model that is a part of a Hydro-Information System (HIS), are presented. Various methods of
representation of performance of electricity generating units, turbines and generators, as well as
the conduits or a plant as a whole, are described in detail. Various modes of operation of
hydropower plants are presented: with specification of the daily electricity generation of the
whole hydropower plant, with specification of the hydropower plant power during each hour of
simulation, with the run-off-river hydropower plant operation and with explicit specification of
the power, i.e. of the discharge for each unit in the plant during each hour of simulation. For
each mode of operation the corresponding algorithms are described in detail. Examples of
application of the modes of operation within a HIS are given. The example of operation of the
“Višegrad” HPP demonstrates the hourly simulation of HPP operation with the specification of
the power, while the examples of operation of the “Uvac” HPP demonstrate the simulation of
the operation with the specification of daily and hourly electricity generation of the plant.
