Electrical Engineering Institute Nikola Tesla SMALL HYDRO POWER PLANTS AUTOMATION Hydropower takes part with around 20% in the world’s electric power and makes almost 90% of electricity generated from renewable sour It is inexpensive, sustainable and emission-free method of electric power production. Small hydro power plants are especially highlighted as functional and payable renewable energy sources. Electrical Engineering Institute “Nikola Tesla” has rich experience in fields of testing, development, implementation, commissioning and equipment. main- tenance of the hydro power plants. As a result of that experience, universal device for automation and control (UDAC) for small hydro power plants is developed. Its main features are: * * * e #* & & * the perfect solutions for turnkey small hydro power plants, design and installation according to the client’s individual needs, modernization and refurbishment of existing plants as well as equipment supply for new ones, customized equipment for various turbine types, high automation level and possibility of unsupervised operation, the possibility of manual mode operation, the highest degree of operational safety, reliability and efficiency, the automatic data acquisition and proces- sing, local support and maintenance, * small dimensions and * affordable prices.Electrical Engineering Institute Nikola Tesla Automation and Control Department SCADA application for supervision and control of the power plant, which is instal- OMIT RICATION, ed on central computer, has the following functions: * state visualization of the power plant and 's subsystems, splay of the state of the power network which the plant is, or should be, Control system manages subsystems in universal device for automation and control (UDAC) by taking care about their mutual dependence and influence. Automatic unit start-up, generator excitation, unit synchro nization to power network, operation on network, normal end emergency shutdown of the unit, speed and active power control, excitation system control, unit equipment monitoring and malfunction and dangerous states recognition are provided by automation and control system. Control system is connected to SCADA for remote monitoring and device control. i a connected to, 1 1 * power equipment state display, SYSTEM ' oe STE ' * overview to all the relevant measure- ' ! ments of inputs into the universal device Relay protection controlled by micro- 1 1 for automation and control (UDAC), processor includes: 1 tl * turing on/off of some subsystems in * over voltage and under voltage ! ! automatic/manual regime, protection, t I * manual control of some subsystems * over frequency and under frequency » ! when they are in manual regime, protection, ' ' * alarm activation in some irregular states, * over current protection, H eon ‘ * archiving of the measurements, given * short circuit prote ' ; ' commands and other relevant data, * ground fault protection, t { * remote data transfer via standard com- * protection against unbalanced EUNTEROTEC TIO ! munication protocol and loading and er ' re ' * visually display of the important values. + reverse power flow protection. ! ! 1 SYNCHRONIZATION 1 i SYSTEM f ' ' i i Synchronization system enables automatic LA) || synchronization and unit connection to the A | | power system network by sending commands ! | | tocexcitation system and turbine governing DC voltage level is chosen in accordance \ eee lene | | system.
