To improve reservoir regulation at our hydroelectric scheme in northern part of Malaysia, a budget river flow measurement system have been installed to estimate flows of rivers that fed four of our hydroelectric reservoirs. The main goal of this measurement system is to estimate water flows into four cascade hydroelectric reservoirs using fore-bay and tail race water levels alone as sensors. With limited number of level sensors installed, mathematical computations have been used to estimate incoming cascade flows. The computation is based on mass balance that volumes of incoming flows should be equal to water stored in the reservoirs over a period plus volumes of water discharge from these hydroelectric plants. The volumes are obtained by integration of flows over selected intervals. However, computation of water volume stored in reservoirs can yield a temporary drift result due to resolution error associated with fore-bay water level measurement that has smallest measured change of 0.01m. These volume computations can causes significant errors as the level variations will be amplified by large surface areas of the reservoirs. Although this measurement system has been able to perform as anticipated, further refinements are needed including to estimate water flow travel times between different reservoir systems. Also, as the lowest level of cascaded hydroelectric stations has limited capacity (due to historical background and construction cost) that spillage is often occur, this proposed system can be used in the future to improve its energy output, in addition to reduce risks of flooding downstream. � 2015 IEEE.
