An expert system for power generation scheduling in multi-chain hydro power stations

The authors describe an expert system for producing daily power generation schedules for the next day for multi-chain hydro power stations along a river. Rules acquired from experienced operators are combined with statistical data for each station to determine generation schedules. These statistical data are stored in the frame base for each station, and the expert system is coupled with a conventional system in Fortran to make detailed schedules. The authors present an outline of the expert system and propose a method for translating qualitative rules-of-thumb into quantitative values for water-level estimation.<<ETX>>
