Hydropower plant generator system model using labVIEW

Abstract

This paper proposes the experimental of hydropower plant generator system (HPGS). The HPGS using LabView that simulate the veritable flow rates control system is considered, the plant system includes of a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG), a diode bridge rectifier circuit (DBRC) and an Inverter control system. The Inverter control system is used for current and voltage control is the power converter. The controller configured by the function in LabVIEW. In addition, valve control has too installation to computer monitoring a flow rate of water. Also, the obtained parameters are calculated form generator torque characteristic The HPGS using LabVIEW the implemented is explained by comparing the HPGS using Pelton method and the HPGS using standard method.
