Simulation for Speed Control of the Small Hydro Power Plant Using PID Controllers

Roshni Bhoi, Dr. S.M. Ali

Power is a vital infrastructure input for the growth and development of any country. With change in environment, power generation method should be taken care. There various sources of energy renewable and non renewable. Though renewable source are easy source i.e. they are readily available everywhere, don’t depends on the climatic condition, but major drawback is it can be replenished. So, country are now focused toward the renewable source like wind, water, solar etc. hydropower here play a important role as renewable and convectional resource. Hydro power is further divide into; large hydro, medium hydro, small hydro and micro hydro. From all the design small hydro are now in main concern. The small hydro power are easy to construct and built on run off river. Since the speed of water is variable, the speed of the system need to controlled to make the system supply frequency constant. This can ne done by a properly designed hydraulic governing system.
