Optimum Hydropower Generation of Upper Gotvand Power Plant in case of Capacity Expansion and Restrictions of the Existing Gotvand Regulating Dam
This research optimizes the hydropower generation of Iran's Upper Gotvand power plant following a 640 MW capacity expansion and determines that a 50 to 60 MW installation capacity for the Gotvand regulating dam yields the most efficient water resource utilization over a 64-year simulation period.
