Abstract

This paper presents a computer aided system that aims to improve the quality of data for hydroelectric plants. This system consists of two modules. The first is a relational database that organizes, standardizes and manages data from hydroelectric plants. The second module allows a user to build, store and manage advanced queries on this or certain other databases. The data manager and the queries builder were tested with data from Brazilian hydroelectric plants and the results show the potential for a significant improvement in terms of efficiency for the operation planning of electrical power systems. Planning has strong dependence on the quality of the data used in mathematical models and other built-in computational tools. The software project and the computational implementation of these modules use the Object-Oriented Paradigm, the C++ programming language and the Structured Query Language (SQL). This assures a modern and efficient structure for the system.
