Description
Summary:Batang Ai Hydroelectric Project is meant to generate electricity. The Batang Ai Dam has a maximum capacity to generate around 108MW when it is fully operational. Efficient reservoir operation should be carried out very carefully in order to provide reliable water supply for power generation and water demand. The research of this project is to review the Batang Ai Dam storage conservation for the reservoir operation by using storage conservation simulation. The simulations are carried out with various outflow conditions using the principle of the storage equation. Lastly, the results from the simulation show that with proper regulation of the reservoir outflow, the Batang Ai Hydroelectric Project reliability to provide continuous power supply without shortage in water supply is assured.
