A simulation model of the hydraulic system of a hydroelectric power plant is developed and implemented in a real time simulator. The main purpose of the simulator is to test the performance of actual governor control systems using hardware-in-the-loop techniques, in which the actual governor control system is connected to a real time simulator instead of being connected to real equipment. This paper focuses on the modeling of the hydraulic system to be implemented in the simulator. The model consists of an unrestricted reservoir, conduits to transport water, and a turbine to convert the potential energy of the fluid into mechanical power. A nonlinear mathematical model for a non-elastic water column is implemented. Effects due to a surge tank and to various turbines connected to a common tunnel are included in the model by considering head and flow variations at the junction of the common tunnel and the individual penstocks. The model is evaluated by comparing results from simulations with field tests from a four-unit hydroelectric power plant (55 MW per unit). Comparisons show that the model reproduces the general behavior of the field tests. However some deviations are observed during the transient response, in particular the simulation results appear to respond faster than field data.

<p>In this paper, the performance evaluation of industrial ethernet (EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT and PROFINET IRT) networks has been studied for choosing the right protocol in real-time fault detection based adaptive sliding mode observer in networked control systems (NCSs) under time network-induced delays, stochastic packet losses, access constraints and bounded disturbances. An adaptive sliding-mode observer based fault detection is presented. The dynamic hydroelectric power plant model is used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method based on TrueTime and Matlab/ Simulink, corroborated our predictions that an ethernet for control automation technology (EtherCAT) protocol would be more appropriate to reduce the false alarm rate and increasing the efficiency of the remote control of industrial hydroelectric power plant.</p>
