Hydropower preventive monitoring action plan

Hydropower generators operation can be automatically optimized based on a correct determination of the main performance indices. The same approach is operable for rehabilitation studies. The most important application refers at small and very small hydropower stations, operating completely automatically, and individual or in a waterfall. There were established resistors parameters, adjustment characteristics, efficiency characteristics at different operation regime, and main types of losses at different regime. It is generated a computer of modeling process, considering these parameters, utilizable in mentioned applications. The numerical example is presented for a small hydropower generator type HVS 288/159-8, working in a hydropower station on the Jiu River.
