FMFrancis Mitchell

Key Points

  • The aim is to suggest a new location for the Dos Bocas hydroelectric project to improve energy production at the Peligre facility.
  • Evaluated the Peligre reservoir and hydroelectric operation
  • Developed operational parameters for hydroelectric projects
  • Created a new Reservoir Rule Curve model
  • Performed over 75 operational simulations for Peligre and Dos Bocas
  • Proposition of an alternate location for Dos Bocas
  • Establishment of operational parameters benefiting Peligre
  • Increased predicted energy production for both hydroelectric facilities

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to offer an alternate location for the Dos Bocas hydroelectricproject as proposed by the Dominican Republic, and sets the operating parameters for anyhydroelectric project planned within the Artibonite Watershed upstream of Peligre. Theprevious study did not consider the effect of Dos Bocas to the operation of Peligre. In orderto set these operational parameters, the Peligre reservoir and hydroelectric facility had to beevaluated to establish a minimum baseline. This report has evaluated these parameters andis proposing an alternate location for Dos Bocas that will greatly benefit Peligre, and increasethe energy production for either Dos Bocas and Peligre. To complete this study and formulatethe operational recommendations, a new “Reservoir Rule Curve” has been modelled. In totalmore than 75 operational simulations of Peligre and Dos Bocas operating in cascade havebeen performed. This report and back up documentations support the findings of this study.
