Abstract

Hydropower is one of the most promising available energy sources in the world. It accounts for almost 16 percent of global electricity consumption. It is clean and renewable energy source as compared to fossil fuel based generation which pollute environment. At the time of floods there will be a huge flow which will causes damage to the plant, inefficient power generation. So these are avoided by using automation. Before the existence of the automation, qualified personnel operated the equipment manually. This was called Manual System. By incorporating automation in hydro power plant, it reduces the manual labor as well as increases the efficiency of the operations performed like providing more flexibility of changing the mode of operation, for example, Power Control, Level Control. It enables to control the plant from a remote area. This paper deals with the use of micro controller for control and automation of hydro power plant, its advantage and cost effectiveness. Here, we are using wired method to transmit measured generated power and water level in the water reservoir along with a controller for automation of opening and closing of shutter for emergency purpose.
