ABSTRACT
Hydropower plant production system is a complex system with a large number of hydraulic, mechanical, and electrical physical devices. Interaction among these devices cause joint dynamics to achieve production goals through all kinds of production activities. Interaction includes a continuous physical dynamic system, a discrete event dynamic system, and a process dynamic systembetween continuous and discrete. Interaction is so tight that its process to its goals shows functions that gradually emerge from micro to macro systems of activity. In newly built hydropower plants, the wide use of automation devices with distributive intelligence can cause unexpected actions to destructive results. It is necessary to research and simulate production behaviours. There is very little research in this area at present.
