Description / Abstract:
This guide describes the control and monitoring requirements for
equipment and systems associated with conventional and
pumped-storage hydroelectric plants. It includes typical methods of
local and remote control, details of the control interfaces for
plant equipment, and requirements for centralized and off-site
control. Where specific values are given for control parameters,
they should be considered as typical.
This document does not address civil and structural details of
hydroelectric power plants unless required for the understanding of
certain control and monitoring functions. Also excluded is a
detailed discussion of protective relaying systems, high-voltage
switchyards, and navigational and flood control facilities
associated with a hydroelectric plant.
Hydroelectric applications of variable frequency operation and
high-voltage generation are not covered in this guide due to the
specialized nature of these applications.
Purpose
This guide serves as a reference document for practicing
engineers in the hydroelectric industry. It documents prevailing
industry practices in hydroelectric power plant control system
logic, control system configurations, and control modes.
Implementation of the concepts described in this guide is covered
in companion IEEE guides for control of hydroelectric power plants
listed in Clause 2.
