Features: This book discusses the operation, maintenance, and management of major electromechanical equipment in small and medium-sized hydropower stations. The book is divided into eight chapters, sequentially introducing the hydro-turbine generator set, main transformer, hydro-turbine governing system, generator excitation system, distribution equipment, normal operating parameters of the plant's DC system, operation monitoring, operation procedures, and operation maintenance. It elaborates on the normal operating mode of the hydro-turbine generator set, abnormal operation, accident analysis, and handling; the active power balance and frequency adjustment, reactive power balance and voltage adjustment in power systems, as well as the distribution of active and reactive power among parallel-operating units. The book also covers precautions for circuit breaker operations, the operational characteristics and maintenance requirements of the hydropower station's DC system, and discusses the economic operation and implementation of small and medium-sized hydropower stations, as well as technical management knowledge related to hydropower station operations. This book can serve as a reference for technical personnel engaged in the operation, maintenance, and management of small and medium-sized hydropower stations, and can also be used as a training textbook for relevant personnel and reference material for students and teachers of related professional institutions.
