Optimization of energy of reservoirs and hydroelectric power plants using wind energy and stabilization of electricity by compensating each other

In the modern conditions of increasing requirements for energy efficiency and environmental sustainability of energy systems, special attention is paid to the integration of renewable energy sources. This article examines the optimization of hydroelectric power plants (HPPs) and reservoirs using wind energy using the example of the Chortok district of the Namangan region. Methods for increasing the stability of energy supplies through the combined use of water and wind resources, as well as compensating for fluctuations in electricity generation are considered.

The study showed that one of the key problems of operating HPPs in this region is the need to give significant volumes of water for irrigation in the summer. This limits the ability of HPPs to stabilize energy production, since water resources become insufficient to maintain the required level of electricity generation. In this regard, wind energy, as an additional source, plays an important role in compensating for seasonal fluctuations and maintaining stability of energy supply throughout the year. However, wind stability is also subject to seasonal factors, which requires a special approach to management.

On the contrary, the operation of HPPs in winter is stabilized due to lower requirements for water consumption, which allows maintaining a relatively constant level of energy generation. The article analyzes the possibility of efficient use of wind energy in winter, when hydro resources are most accessible for stabilizing the overall power supply system.The presented results demonstrate that the integration of wind energy with water resources allows to minimize the negative effects of seasonal fluctuations, providing a more reliable and environmentally sustainable energy system.
