Real Power and Frequency Control – Case Study for a Synchronous Generator from the Structure of a Hydroelectric Power Plant

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a solution for the real power control, generated by a synchronous generator belonging to a small hydroelectric power plant. The proposed control system is based on the simple feedback structure which contains also, a frequency correction loop. The mathematical models of all the elements from the control structure are detailed. Also, starting from these models, the real power controller (of Proportional – Integral – Derivative type) tuning procedure is presented. In the end of the paper, the simulations results of the control system are presented highlighting the obtained control performances. The proposed solution is a general one and it can be adapted with relative minor changes to any hydroelectric power plant.
