Design of Micro - Hydro - Electric Power Station

Micro-hydro-electric power is both an efficient and reliable formof clean source of renewable energy. It can be an excellent method of harnessing renewable energy from small rivers and streams. The micro-hydro project designed to be a run -of-river type, because it requires very little or no reservoir in order to power the turbine. The water will run straight through the turbine and back into t...

Fuzzy Logic Based Hydro-Electric Power Dam Control System

This research paper presents the construction design of Hydro-Electric Power Dam Control System using Fuzzy Logic. In this design two input parameters: water level and flow rate and two output parameters: release valve control and drain valve control are used. This proposed system uses a simplified algorithmic design approach with wide range of input and output membership functions. The hardwar...

Role of pump hydro in electric power systems

This paper provides an overview of the expected role that variable speed hydro power plants can have in future electric power systems characterized by a massive integration of highly variable sources. Therefore, it is discussed the development of a methodology for optimising the operation of hydropower plants under increasing contribution from new renewable energy sources, addressing the partic...

Power System Stabilizer Application for Load Frequency Control in Hydro-Electric Power Plant

Renewable energy provides 20% of electricity generation worldwide. Hydroelectric power is the cheapest way to generate electricity today. It provides almost onefifth of the electricity in world. Hydropower is produced in more than 150 countries. The main objective of this paper is modelling and analysis of the effects of the power system stabilizer (PSS) for load frequency control (LFC) system ...
