Hydropower plant models: water supply system, turbine and governor : Model validation: on site tests and grid fault simulation

Abstract

Several tests were conducted at Futaleufú hydropower plant to improve plant related models because studies carried out in the past did not predict the power plant behaviour during grid faults. New models were used to reproduce Futaleufú power plant behaviour during a grid fault happened on December 14, 2006.Instituto de Investigaciones Tecnológicas para Redes y Equipos Eléctricos (IITREE
