Modeling and Simulation of a Hydroelectric Process

Abstract

In this paper, a solution for the mathematical modeling and simulation of the technological process associated to a turbine – synchronous generator group, belonging to a small hydroelectric power plant. In order to determine the parameters of the treated technological process, some experimental identification procedures are applied. The experimental identification procedures are applied to the experimental data obtained from the real plant. The validity of the obtained mathematical model is proved through the comparison of the experimental data with the data obtained after the model simulation. The technological importance of having a valid mathematical model of the hydroelectric process consists in the possibility to study the plant behavior for different working regimes using the results of the model simulation and in the possibility of including the process in an automatic control structure.
