MODELLING AND SIMULATION OF ELECTRO - HYDRAULIC GOVERNOR

Abstract

The Kuttiyadi power generation scheme consists of 6 power generation units with total installed capacity of 225MW. Three units were installed in 1971 by the Fuji Electric Japan, it uses mechanical governing systems. In 2001 another unit was installed by GE Canada, which uses PLC controlled governing system. The next two units were installed by BHEL India in 2010 and it uses distributed computing system. It contains dedicated microprocessors and uses GUI (Graphics User Interface) software for direct control and monitoring. Simulation of the systems are done to study their performance characteristics. In this project we are designing a SIMULINK model of the governing systems installed by BHEL, to obtain the responses of the system in different conditions
