Abstract

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for energy production from fluid. In a step, the computer determines if the rate of the fluid level increase in the one of the one or more fluid reservoirs is above a predetermined threshold. In a step, the computer sends a signal to a bypass valve to open and release fluid through a bypass fluid connection from the one of the one or more fluid reservoirs if the rate of the fluid level increase in the one of the one or more fluid reservoirs is above a predetermined threshold. In a step, the computer sends a signal to a regulation valve to open for fluid connection to one or more turbines if the fluid level of the one of the one or more fluid reservoirs is above the predetermined threshold level.
