Hi,

I need to configure my hydropower system in automatic load controlling. Till now it is only working in automatic frequency controlling. Can somebody help me with this?

Regs,

The equipment manufacturer can, either through the Manual or by telehone, perhaps.

sauravbabu,

No one here can read your mind. We cannot see your equipment.

WE have no idea of what you speak. You continually demonstrate a complete lack of knowledge of the equipment you claim to have, but don't know how to use.

CALL, WRITE OR E-MAIL THE MANUFACTURER OF THE MYSTERY EQUIPMENT YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND, NOR KNOW HOW TO CONTROL.


Your undefined "hydropower system" must have come with a book, called an operator's manual. Find the book, read it, and do what it says or call a professional to help you.

You are not capable of operating the equipment at hand, and we can't help because you give NO USEFUL INFORMATION. Get someone in who can.

Maybe Carnac can help you, because nobody here can.

That is why the telephone is preferable. It is 2-way, which provides an opportunity for mutual understanding.

While one is on the telephone with someone, one has that individual's undivided attention while all the incoming e-mail goes

into the "write-only memory". That's why it doesn't come back and why one doesn't know about it not coming back for ages. The result? Business delays! E-mail has probably had its day as a useful business tool.

Do what this bloke is doing instead:

How about that for leadership?

No one has provided the step-by-step instructions for using a telephone to sauravbabu.

He doesn't know what the equipment is, nor how to operate it, so, I'm not sure that anything short of personal instruction will suffice here.

sauravbabu, call a service tech and have him on-site to asses and repair the equipment.

Oooooh. That's a good point.

Where's the Manual?

If the information is not in the manual and you don't know what you are doing get in professional help before you kill someone.

Based on your previous posts, we can NOT help you with control settings for a 11/132kV 2*1650 kVA hydroelectric power plant in Nepal, neither should we from an ethical, legal and safety point of view.

sauravbabu you wouldn't be related to our old friend Merle would you?

You're questions are in a similar vein to his super mega large hydro power plant fantasies.

Greetings,

I would suggest you look to companys such as Woodward Governor or L&S Electric (of Wausau WI) who have been building and modifying hydro governors for many years.

I went thru the Woodward Governor school 40 years ago in Rockford, IL and then they moved to Stevens Point, then with GE in Colorado for a relatively short time.

There were other hydro governor companys many years ago, but they are gone. The companys below can either help you further or supply replacement equipment if yours can not operate in the new mode.

  1. www.woodward.com/Governors.aspx
  2. www.americangovernor.com/
  3. www.lselectric-engineering.com

It is a shame when people on this site don't know something that they really get out of control and berate people.

I hope this has been helpful.

I know virtually nothing about hydro plants, so if I'm mistaken, someone please correct me.

If the automatic frequency controlling is indeed working correctly, then it is already load controlling! Otherwise a heavier load would slow it down and the frequency would drop!

Thanks (I think)!

Does 'a stickler' mean right or wrong?

Yes, you are precisely sticking to the logical answer!

Now, in a nonprofessional installation or use the output voltage still may drop unacceptably, if the generator's internal impedance or the load impedance is not properly considered. And we do not know anything beyond the short question.

Measurements, anyone?
