Abstract

Abstract : During the early part of the war years Pierre Masse organized a group for the purpose of studying optimal procedures of development and management of the French hydroelectric and steam power system. The problems encountered by this group included the evaluation of probabilities of excessive discharges, the evaluation of probabilities of excessive droughts, as well as the development of optimal management procedures for the big and small hydroelectric reservoirs.
