Electricity demands in Southern Cameroon are supplied by two hydroelectric stations operated by the Society Nationale d'Electricitg du Cameroun on the River Sanaga. Water storage is limited at the first station and negligible at the second, and natural river flows are regulated by releases which take up to 7 days to travel from upstream reservoirs. Downstream flow requirements must accordingly be forecast for up to 7 days ahead. This paper describes application of a computer program to minimise these requirements by optimising operation of the limited downstream storage and the two power stations to meet the demands imposed.
