Classification of Hydro-Electric
Power Plants
Introduction
This seminar will provide a comprehensive understanding of all the best operation practices for a hydro-electric power
plant. The design and operation of a hydro-electric power plant and all its equipment are covered in detail in this seminar.
The main focus of the seminar is on the best practice guidelines to optimize the performance of every equipment in the
hydro-electric power plant. This includes turbine, governing system, transformers, generator, instrumentation and control
systems. All the methods used to optimize the performance of a hydro-electric power plant to meet international
standards will be discussed in detail in this seminar. This includes optimization of the plant management, plant
automation, upgrading the hydro-electric power plant to a computer-based supervisory control and Data Acquisition
(SCADA) system, and optimization of all equipment operation, surveillance, monitoring, testing, and maintenance. This
seminar is also focused on using advanced algorithms to optimize the generator efficiency, and optimization of a hydro-
electric power plant performance by selecting specific operating parameters such as the most efficient load, maximum
sustainable load, fixed turbine flow, headwater/tailwater elevation control, load following/automatic generation control,
condensing reactive power control, automatic load reduction and reinstatement for temperature considerations. The
seminar will also cover in detail all the inspection methods and tests required to identify faults and deficiencies in hydro-
electric power plant equipment, as well as, the most advanced repair techniques and refurbishment methods. This
seminar will also cover all the activities required to commission this equipment and all protective systems associated with
it. The objective of the seminar is to maximize the performance, efficiency, reliability, and longevity of hydro-electric
power plants by providing the best guidelines and practices for operating and maintaining them.
This seminar is a MUST for anyone who is involved in operating, managing, inspecting, testing, maintaining or refurbishing
hydro-electric power plants because it covers the best operation methods and provides the necessary guidelines and rules
that ensure the successful repair and refurbishment of hydro-electric power plants. In addition, this seminar will cover in
detail the advanced fault detection techniques, critical components and all modern troubleshooting and commissioning
methods which increases the reliability, and capacity factor (power output) of hydro-electric power plants and minimizes
their forced outages, and operation and maintenance costs.
