What is a Hydroelectric Power
Plant ?
 Generation of electricity by hydropower (potential
energy in stored water) is one of the cleanest methods
of producing electric power.
 In 2012, hydroelectric power plants contributed about
16% of total electricity generation of the world.
 Hydroelectricity is the most widely used form of
renewable energy. It is a flexible source of electricity
and also the cost of electricity generation is relatively
low.

Working of hydro power plant
PENSTOCK
Francis Turbine
 The Francis turbine is a type of water
turbine that was developed by James B.
Francis in Lowell, Massachusetts.
 It is an inward-flow reaction
turbine that combines radial and axial
flow concepts.
They operate in a water head from 40 to
600 m (130 to 2,000 ft) and are primarily
used for electrical power production.
 The speed range of the turbine is from
75 to 1000 rpm.
 A wicket gate around the outside of
the turbine's rotating runner controls the
rate of water flow through the turbine for
different power production rates.
Generator
EXCITATION SYSTEM
 Exciter is the source of electrical power for the field
winding of generator and is realized as a separate DC or AC
generator
 Measuring elements are used to obtain excitation system
input values. Generator armature voltage is always
measured and measurements of armature current and the
excitation current and voltage are optional.
 Limitation and protection unit contains larger number of
circuits which ensure that certain physical values (e.g.
generator armature voltage, excitation current, etc.) are
limited.
