| 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. |
