Abstract

The real-time interface requirements of a large hydroelectric power plant with its regional load dispatch office are described. The operative arrangement, interfacing functions, annual and weekly generation schedule, and unit commitment are discussed. Automatic generation control, automatic bus voltage, river flow control, and operating conditions are discussed. All the functions were implemented for the Guri Hydroelectric Project in Venezuela, with total generating capacity of 10000 MW. Operation management functions are all handled by the Guri Computer Control System
