Developing the control system for micro hydro power plant with cross flow turbine provided by asean hydropower competence center (HYCOM)

---

The purpose of this thesis is to develop a system to improve the performance of a micro hydro power plant with 300 mm cross flow turbine that is provided by ASEAN Hydropower Competence Center (HYCOM). The existing system operates in manual mode only as there is no automatic control system for it. Therefore the power quality (frequency and voltage) is not guaranteed to be within a specific operating range that is required by loads.rnThe main idea of this system is to stabilize the electrical frequency of the power that is delivered to the loads. The first solution is by controlling the input water flowing through the turbine to maintain the rotational speed of the connected generator. It can be done by automatically adjusting the guide-vane?ÇÖs opening size. The second solution is by controlling the output power distribution to the loads to assure that the selected loads always receive the required power with good quality. It can be done by controlling the sequence of load activation. By combining both solutions, the second solution will overcome the limitation of the first solution, and thus improve overall performance.
