  • Virtual reservoir storing energy for a hydroelectric power plant
    Patent number: 11070061
    Abstract: A load management system for a hydroelectric power plant, includes a power generator configured to generate electrical energy from a flow of water for supplying a power grid, a virtual reservoir configured to store the generated electrical energy and dispatch the stored electrical energy to the power grid; a plurality of circuit breakers that connect an output of the power generator to the power grid and to the virtual reservoir; and a control unit configured to control operating states of the plurality of circuit breakers so that the generated electrical energy is stored at the virtual reservoir and at least one of the generated electrical energy or the stored electrical energy is provided to the power grid.
