Abstract
In this paper, the simulation model of a typical canal type small hydroelectric power plant was developed through interconnection of models of various equipments of the plant under consideration in a MATLAB/Simulink based software environment. The various components of small hydroelectric plant like open channel, governor and Semi-Kaplan turbine, synchronous generator, exciter are being considered under modeling and simulation.. The aim is to study its behavior during transient condition. Using the simulated model enhancement through PID controller will be done to reduce oscillations, peak overshoot and peak undershoot during transient period and also to improve the steady state response This study helps in verifying costs and safety conditions, in selecting the best alternatives in the early phase of design and to determine the requirements of special protection devices.
