Abstract This thesis proposes a criteria for the evaluation of those variable
parameters that influence the response of a hydroelectric generator
driven by a hydraulic turbine of the Kaplan type. It is considered
a requirement that a unit must be stable when supplying an isolated
load and it is assumed that this requirement assures stability of a system
of such units when interconnected. A mathematical model of a
typical unit supplying an isolated load is presented. The characteristic
equation of this linearized system is analyzed with the aid of a
digital computer to determine relative stability of the unit for various
parameter settings. A model of a Kaplan-turbine-driven unit connected
to a typical system is shown. This model is solved on the digital
computer to determine the response of the unit when subjected to a
disturbance.
