Module 10: Learning Objective

• Identify the governor types in 5 different power plants in Nepal.

• Discuss why there is such an uncontrolled frequency in Grid system of
Nepal.
• Propose suitable mechanism to maintain the constant grid frequency
with operation of 300 MW single industry in the grid of Nepal.
Governor system used in the some of the powerplants are:
1. Pharping Hydropower: Milton Oil Governor
2. Marsyangdi Hydropower: Single Channel Digital Governor Control System
Almost all the hydropower vegetation of Nepal is run of rivers type. Thus, the loading situation
varies mostly from summer time to wintry weather season. The guidelines additionally wanted
on the foundation of the demand of the power. This dynamic operation situation of the
powerplant wishes the steady velocity of the generator for the balance of the frequency required
for the grid connection. So, actual time provide fluctuations and subsequent frequency editions in
the grid pose a serious project for device operators to preserve the machine in stability i.e.
manipulate the machine frequency. In Nepal most of the governor device used are guide
operation kind which are gradual in response and requires popular maintenance. Plus, no actual
time response can be acquired from them. So, loading situation can't be managed immediately
which effects in the uncontrolled output voltage from the generator. Thus, this effects for such an
uncontrolled frequency in Grid device of Nepal.

One of the choices for the grid steadiness is the greatest dynamic electrical manipulate computer
with real time feedback and rapid response system. This helps to feature at the regular pace
alternatively may not make sure the full make use of the surplus energy. While the electricity
storage machine helps to maintain the consistent and full load operation situation always. When
the demand is low it can be stored and make use of at the time of top period. Thus, electrical
energy storage device may also desire to be some different mechanism to maintain the grid
stability. Hydrogen storage, compressed air power storage (CAES), and pumped hydropower
storage are some of the preferences for grid balance for the giant strength plant of above 300
MW. Under excellent conditions, pumped hydro storage does furnish a dynamic response and
offer indispensable back-up all through intervals of extra demand with the aid of retaining grid
stability. Its main advantages are its flexibility and the truth that it is the most developed large-
scale electricity storage technology at present available. Pumped hydro storage is a internet
patron of power—it makes use of electrical energy to pump the water lower returned up to the
pinnacle of the reservoir; in an exceptional state of affairs it can unravel intermittency by
working in conjunction with exclusive sorts of renewable energy. Thus, this may additionally
choose to be one of few mechanisms for the grid steadiness in case of Nepal. But, due to a
quantity challenges there is none in operation and fully one plant which is underneath
development of PHS type.
