Abstract:

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 the world’s electricity. Hydropower is produced in more than 150 countries. Hydropower plant producers provide energy due to moving or falling water. This paper presents and discusses studies on hydroelectric power plant fields, which have been carried out by different investigators. This work aims to study and provide an overview of hydroelectric power plants such as applications, control, operation, modeling and environmental impacts. Also, the hybrid power and efficiency of the hydroelectric power plants has been investigated. The applications of a flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) controller in the power system with the hydroelectric power plants are presented.

Commissioning, Monitoring and Control of a Low-power Hydroelectric Power Plant

The usage of regenerable low power sources is currently rather reduced. Utilization of some specialized softwares of SCADA type allow the operation of the low-power hydroelectric power plants in automatic regime, without local monitoring personnel, these being able to be remotely monitored and controlled. In this way, the utilization of such power plants becomes profitable. A special importance...

Modeling and Control of Water Level in Boiler Drum for Nassiriyah Thermal Power Plant

The boiler drum process is a nonlinear, complex and multivariable process which includes significant time delay. Therefore, the control on the water level in the drum is not easy and ideal. The first objective of this paper is to model the drum water level referring to 210 MW power unit for Nassiriyah thermal power plant. The second objective is to study the water level controller operation wit...

Automatic Veriication of a Hydroelectric Power Plant 1

We analyze the speciication of a hydroelectric power plant by ENEL (the Italian Electric Company). Our goal is to show that for the speciication of the plant (its control system in particular) some given properties hold. We were provided with an informal speciication of the plant. From such informal speciication we wrote a formal speciication using the CCS/Meije process algebra formalism. We de...

Modeling and Control of an Industrial Distillation Plant Modeling and Control of an Industrial Distillation Plant

M and control of distillation columns is a research area that evokes considerable interest. On the one hand, substantial savings are possible with good controllers, on the other hand, distillation columns are often used as test cases for new methods of model based controller design. Strongly nonlinear behavior and high order are the characteristics that present challenges when designing control...
