Introduction
Hydro power accounts for 80% share of “green energy”. It is cheap, reliable,
economically stable and sustainable power source. The hydro power plants unlike
conventional plants (thermal, nuclear) are tailor made based on the site-specific conditions
such as available head, flow and plant configuration.
Hydro power is a mature and cost-competitive renewable energy source, contributing
to more than 16% of electricity generation worldwide and about 85% of global renewable
electricity. Hydro power plays an important role in today’s electricity mix and helps stabilise
fluctuations between demand and supply. And in future, with increase in share from wind
and PV system, this role will become more important.
Over the past decades, no major breakthroughs have occurred in the basic hydro
power components; however, computer technology led to significant improvements in
monitoring, diagnostics, protection and control.
In contrast to large hydro projects, small hydropower installations involve a wide
range of designs, layouts, equipments and materials. Therefore, state-of-the-art
technologies, knowledge and design experience are the key to fully exploit local resources at
competitive costs.
The motivations to this proposed book is to explicitly present a systematic approach
in mathematical modelling of different configurations of hydro power plants, their simulation
studies, performance of controlled system, etc. A critical insight into new trends for its
operation and control would be focussed.
Objective of the Book
Hydro power generation in the past few decades has already received wide attention
and developments. These includes retro-fittings, complex design, instrumentation and
control too. Still, there exists huge market and development potential considering new large
hydro projects in countries with untrapped sites, revamp and upgrade the aging plants,
develop pumped-storage projects to supplement intermittent renewable energy resources,
and tap small hydro power potential.
The proposed book intends to bring in comprehensive and recent
discussions/analysis of hydro power plants, including its modelling, simulation and control.
The chapters of proposed book would address wide range of topics, from the fundamentals
to the latest concepts, providing the most appropriate solutions leading to cost-effective and
reliable operation.
Target Audience
Academicians, Researchers, Scientists, Advanced level students, Technology
developers, Design Engineers, Power plant engineers/supervisors will find this book useful
in furthering their research exposure, enhance regulation performance, design, operation,
consultancy, etc. The text will provide necessary knowledge to adopt and implement
supervisory control/monitoring schemes.
Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following sections:
Part 1: Modeling and simulation of hydro power plants
? Modeling for single penstock turbine: Inelastic and elastic effect of penstock, without and
with surge tank, etc.
? Modeling for a common penstock turbine: Inelastic and elastic effect of penstock, without
and with surge tank, etc.
? Stability analysis
? Models for rive discharge simulation including GIS application
Part 2: Control of hydro power plants
? Classical, modern control techniques: Variable structure, Adaptive, Feedback
linearization
? Automatic generation control
? Variable speed control
? Predictive control
Part 3: Operation, scheduling, etc of hydro power plants (including pumped storage)
? Optimization
? Maintenance
? Performance improvements
? Electricity mix with wind/PV system
? Cascaded
Part 4: Small hydro power plants
? Modeling
? Control
? Simulation
? Cost analysis
? Design case studies to a particular location
IET Books Style
The IET demands the highest standards of the written contributions that appear in its
products and services, and a commitment exists to maintain those standards.
Production Guidelines
IET has an up-to-date site for online help, instructions, and the author guides. Please
scan through the site to get a good feeling about its content and structure to help you to get
quickly to the information. Editors prefers to have your Chapter prepared using Microsoft
Documents. However, if you have a good reason to deliver your manuscript in Latex format,
please let us know so that we can supply the required IET template and associated guidance
notes for your reference.
Expected Chapter Structure
Although some variations in the Chapters such as size, tutorial content, etc. can be
acceptable. However, we need to have each Chapter aligning with the following
requirements:
? Size of the Chapter should not be beyond 20-30 pages long.
? Text should be in single column, 10 font size, Times New Roman.
Delivery timelines
The dates for Chapters would be in following timelines:
