Simulation of integrated hydro-electric & thermal plant systems using GPSSV
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This thesis demonstrates the utility of computer simulation in the modelling of hydro-electric and thermal plant operations. It focuses on models of selected facilities in the British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority's integrated system. Four different simulation models are developed. Each successive model develops a variation of the basic program to accommodate the different hydro-electric and thermal plant configurations. When more than one energy producing facility is included in a particular simulation, they are operated on a coordinated basis. The purpose of the models is to assess the energy producing capabilities of alternative configurations. Two types of experiments are performed on the models: model configuration and operating coordinating policy. \nIn terms of the hydro-electric facilities, the scope of the models extends from the simulation of river inflows to reservoirs, through the energy generation phase, to the resultant down river flow. Generally, thermal plant operation is a function of reservoir status. The IBM GPSSV computer language is used in the modelling process. \nBy considering the simulation output over the two types of experiments, it is possible to draw conclusions concerning the ability of certain facility configurations to meet specified energy demands. These conclusions can facilitate B.C. Hydro in the management of its integrated system with respect to planning the construction of new facilities and establishing coordinating-operating policies. Additionally, the value of using GPSSV in the modelling process is discussed.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
