Control System for Ust-Kamenogorsk HPP has been put into operation

Rakurs specialists has finished a project of design and manufacturing of control system for generating unit No.4 of Ust-Kamenogorsk HPP, AES Company.

The System has undergone field tests and has been put into operation.

The Control System of Rakurs production is based on up-to-date principles of control systems integration, using modern software and hardware microprocessor facilities.

The Control System for generating unit No.4 of Ust-Kamenogorsk HPP is used for stabilization of predetermined conditions of technological process, finding and prevention of emergency on technological junctions, etc.

The Control System realises the following functions:

· automatic start of hydroelectric unit in idle running mode, put into subsynchronous rotary axis speed and stabilisation of rotation frequency in idle running mode;

· synchronisation of hydroelectric unit while network connection,

· control of hydroelectric unit load;

· switching of unit from synchronous compensator mode to generating mode and back;

· normal stop of hydroelectric unit;

· emergency automatic stop of hydroelectric unit;

· hydromechanical protection of unit;

· electrical protection of generator;

· warning and alarm,

· generator temperature control;

· control of electrical parameters;

· dispatch control;

· control of auxiliary equipment.

Control System of generating unit for Ust-Kamenogorsk HPP is made as multilevel distributed automated system.
