Hydropower Plants Secondary Power System Solution
The secondary power system of a hydropower plants mainly encompasses functions like monitoring, protection, automation, and communication, tasked with monitoring and managing the hydropower station’s power generation, transmission, and distribution links.
1. Monitoring Function
Real - time monitoring of the hydropower station’s operating status, including generator sets, transformers, switchgear, etc. It also involves data collection and recording, covering parameters such as current, voltage, power, and frequency.
2. Protection Function
Setting protection logic to ensure automatic power cutoff of equipment in abnormal situations, and implementing protection functions like overload, short - circuit, and ground - fault protection.
3. Automation Function
Achieving automated operations such as automatic start - stop, load adjustment, and accident handling. It also supports remote control and operation, allowing operators to control via remote terminals.
4. Communication Function
Supporting multiple communication protocols (e.g., Modbus, DNP3) to ensure effective communication with upper - level computers and monitoring systems, and enabling interconnection with other power systems and dispatching centers.
The solution for the hydropower station’s secondary power system adopts a hierarchical and modular design. It deploys a SCADA system for real - time monitoring and data analysis, and installs intelligent protection devices and automated control systems to ensure the safe and efficient operation of equipment. The system should support multiple communication protocols and feature a redundant network design to enhance communication reliability. Meanwhile, network and physical security measures need to be strengthened, a user - friendly interface designed, and operator training and technical support provided. Regular maintenance and system upgrades will guarantee the system’s stability and sustainable development. Through these measures, the overall performance and reliability of the hydropower station can be effectively improved.
1. Electrical Monitoring System for Hydropower Plants
A supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system is used to achieve real - time monitoring and remote control of the hydropower station. The power monitoring system can integrate various sensors and control devices, and offer a user - friendly interface for operation and data analysis.
2. Safety Protection
The PLC system is also tasked with implementing the safety protection functions of the hydropower plants. For instance, it monitors parameters like water level, water pressure, and temperature. Once abnormal conditions are detected, the PLC can promptly take corresponding measures, such as closing valves and stopping water pumps, to prevent equipment damage or safety incidents.
3. Data Collection and Monitoring
By connecting to various sensors and monitoring devices, the PLC system collects real - time data on various parameters of the hydropower station, including water level, water pressure, flow, and temperature, to facilitate the monitoring and analysis of the hydropower plant’s operating status.
4. Remote Communication and Monitoring
Many modern hydropower stations employ remote monitoring systems. The PLC communicates with the central control room via network connections, enabling remote monitoring and operation of the hydropower plant and enhancing operational convenience and efficiency.
5. Fault Diagnosis and Maintenance
The PLC system is equipped with a fault diagnosis function, capable of monitoring the operating status of equipment and timely identifying and reporting faults. This helps maintenance personnel quickly locate problems and conduct repairs, reducing the impact of faults on the hydropower plany’s operation.
