Modelo para el control de inundaciones durante el fenómeno de "La Niña" utilizando un embalse hidroeléctrico

Abstract

This paper presents a model for flood control during rainy seasons, and especially during the phenomenon of "La Niña". The proposed model optimizes the hydric resources of a hydroelectric plant maximizing the income of the generator for energy sales but considering constraints and penalizations for flood control. The main contribution of the paper is the inclusion of social responsibility criteria within an energetic economic dispatch. The proposed model is tested in a real system in a geographic area where floods occur regularly. The resulting energetic dispatch scheme guarantees reliability in the flood control zone according to the established constraints.
