A description of the application of microcomputers to the governing of hydro turbines for electricity generation on the UK public electricity supply system is presented. Experience has been gained using experimental equipment fitted to operational generating plant and a dramatic improvement in response to system frequency disturbances has been demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
