One of the power plants in the labor system is hydropower, which is a power plant by utilizing water resources as its working fluid. In the operation of the hydropower requires high reliability sothat the energy production contuinitas to the load center or to the power system network can be more optimum. One of the components in the hydropower plant is penstock. Closed pipeline, whether it is laminar or turbulent, must have head losses. Head losses on penstock is a phenomenon of losses on the penstock so as to make the head value on the hydropower becomes reduced. At Penstock unit III PLTA Ir. H. Djuanda there are two phenomenon of head losses, namely: head losses major caused by friction penstock against water and minor head losses in the form of bend 900 with radius 4.375 m and 11.3 m from the axis penstock. Temperature changes affect the size of head losses, but they do not significantly affect penstock efficiency. At a temperature of 240C and a flow rate of 5m / s obtained a total head losses of 0606 m so as to make the potential of turbine inlet power down to 31,247 MW or 99.21%.

Safety membrane is a good mechanical device that can be applied in middle and small hydropower stations instead of a surge tank. This present study deals with the determination of three most important parameters of safety membrane, rupture pressure, diameter, and number. The mathematical model of transient process is established by introducing the method of characteristic, which is used for the simulation of the rupture behavior of safety membrane. Then the model is applied to a specific hydropower station that only can employ safety membrane as the regulating measurement, and it shows good performance. The achievements of the study can serve as a reference for similar projects.

With the growth in the share of variable renewable energy sources, fluctuations in the power generation caused by these types of power plants can diminish the stability and flexibility of the grid. These two can be enhanced by applying frequency containment using hydropower plants as an operational reserve. The frequency containment in hydropower plants is automatically controlled by speed governors within seconds. Disturbances such as fluctuations in the net head and aging may diminish the performance of the controllers of the speed governors. In this study, model reference adaptive control approaches based on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) rule and Lyapunov method were exploited in order to improve the performance of the speed governor for frequency containment control. The active power control with frequency control was enhanced by the aforementioned adaptive control methods. A mathematical model of a hydropower plant with a surge tank and medium penstock was constructed and validated through site measurements of a plant. It was shown that, as they are applicable in real life, both methods perform significantly better compared to conventional proportional-integrator control. Even in first five deviations, the performance of the conventional controller improved by 58.8% using the MIT rule and by 65.9% using the Lyapunov method. When the two adaptive control approaches were compared with each other, the MIT rule outputted better results than the Lyapunov method when the disturbance frequency was higher; however, the latter was more functional for rare disturbances.

Fish Protection

Horizontal bar racks have been used as trash racks at hydropower plants since the 1920s. With the installation of the first horizontal bar rack bypass system at a hydropower plant as a downstream fish passage facility in 2006, these racks rapidly gained importance as fish protection measures. Since then, they have been installed at more than 100 small- to medium-sized hydropower plants in Europe. Despite the large number of installed racks, systematic investigations of the head losses and velocity fields were missing. On the basis of detailed hydraulic experimentation with a large number of rack parameters and including up-to-date foil-shaped bars, the layout of horizontal bar racks and their hydraulic performance were assessed in the current study. This paper reports the results of the rack head loss investigation, whereas the accompanying paper entitled Velocity Fields at Horizontal Bar Racks as Fish Guidance Structures focuses on the up- and downstream velocity fields. By applying foil-shaped bars instead of rectangular bars, the loss coefficient was reduced by more than 40%, depending on the rack configuration. Bottom and top overlays are used to increase the guidance efficiency for fish, sediments, and floating debris. However, the altered flow field results in increased head losses. A new set of equations is proposed to predict head losses for current horizontal bar racks, including overlays for various hydropower plant layouts. The predictions are compared to literature data.
