Abstract
This paper deals with the modelling and the stability analysis of a hy droelectric power plant with two surge tanks placed upstream and downs tream of the turbine. The interaction of the two surge tanks is invest igated and the system is simulated for the case of sudden opening or c losure of the turbine gates. The stability of the frequency control lo op is assessed by using small signal analysis based on linearization. The above procedures have been applied to a real situation and proved to be extremely useful for preliminary design purposes.
