An Overview of Hydroelectric Power Plant: Operation, Modeling, and Control

Renewable energy provides twenty percent of electricity generation worldwide. Hydroelectric power is the cheapest way to generate electricity today. It is a renewable source of energy and provides almost one-fifth of electricity in the world. Also, it generates electricity using a renewable natural resource and accounting for six percent of worldwide energy supply or about fifteen percent of th...

Unsupervised Neural Network for Forecasting Alarms in Hydroelectric Power Plant

Power plant management relies on monitoring many signals that represent the technical parameters of the real plant. The use of neural networks (NN) is a novel approach that can help to produce decisions when integrated in a more general system. In this paper we introduce a NN module using an ART-MAP to discriminate different situations from the plant in order to prevent future malfunctions. A s...

AC/DC/AC converter in a small hydroelectric power plant

The article discusses application of AC/DC/AC converter cooperating with an induction generator in small hydroelectric power plants. The induction generator works with power grid or a separated group of receivers, enabling to generate power even at low speeds of the turbine. The article provides also results of the investigation concerning the functioning of the generator coupled with AC/DC/AC ...

Advanced Condition Monitoring of a Hydroelectric Power Generation Facility

This paper details the development and application of a Plant Asset Management (PAM) system which turns data into useful information in order to assess asset condition. The system was developed by Matrikon Australia for Meridian Energy Limited, New Zealand’s largest state owned electricity generator. PAM was designed to provide advanced condition monitoring and prediction of asset failures for ...
