Abstract
A control device includes a prediction unit that predicts state data indicating a state of a run-of-river hydroelectric power generation system, based on operational data acquired from the run-of-river hydroelectric power generation system, an optimization unit that optimizes operation data indicating an operation with respect to the run-of-river hydroelectric power generation system, based on a prediction result of the state data, and a control execution unit that controls the run-of-river hydroelectric power generation system, based on the optimized operation data.
