Abstract | dc.description.abstract | The effects of hydropeaking of the Rapel Hydropower Plant on the hydrodynamics of the reservoir
were investigated by combining field measurements and three-dimensional simulations performed
with the Centre for Water Research, Estuary, Lake and Coastal Ocean Model. Two operational
scenarios were analysed: the hydropeaking of the hydropower plant and a fictional scenario without
hydropeaking. Two time periods were considered to allow different seasonal and operating
conditions to be considered. The location of the thermocline was determined by the depth of the
outlet and the withdrawal rate. Spectral analysis showed a strong correlation between the water
withdrawals and the internal waves in the reservoir. Furthermore, vertical mixing with hydropeaking
during the summer can be enhanced by one order of magnitude with respect to the case without
hydropeaking. We conclude that hydropeaking has a major impact on the hydrodynamics of the
reservoir, which indicates that diurnal variations in the outflows should be considered when studying
these systems. | en_US |
