COMPARISON OF OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF HYDRO POWER PLANTS BOŠTANJ AND BLANCA

V diplomskem delu je izvedena primerjava dveh hidroelektrarn, in sicer HE Boštanj ter HE Blanca. Primerjava je razdeljena na tri sklope. Prvi sklop primerjave temelji na primerjanju njunih jezovnih zgradb z nameščeno strojno in elektro opremo. V drugem sklopu je izvedena ekonomska analiza v programskem orodju RETScreen, katere rezultati prikazujejo finančne kazalce posamezne hidroelektrarne. V zaključnem sklopu primerjave pa je izvedena analiza obratovanja tipičnih dni posamezne hidroelektrarne z modelom v programskem orodju Matlab/Simulink, ki je izdelan na osnovi školjčnega diagrama turbine ter obratovalnega diagrama generatorja.This diploma thesis presents a comparison between two hydroelectric power plants, HEPP Boštanj and HEPP Blanca. This comparison consists of three parts. The first part is based on the comparison of their dam structures with the mechanical and electric equipment installed. The second part contains an economic analysis performed with the RETScreen software. The results of this analysis show financial pointers of both hydroelectric plants. In the closing part of the comparison an analysis of the typical working days for each plant is preformed using model prepared in the program package Matlab/Simulink software. This model is based on a hill-chart diagram of the turbine and on an operating diagram of the sychrones generator
