This master's thesis describes how we designed, implemented, programmed and tested a system intended for generating electricity from a renewable water source. It is a small hydroelectric power plant, the specialty of which is that it is fully automated, and its management and control are carried out remotely. The turbine used is of the Kaplan type, and the generator is asynchronous, which requires appropriate monitoring and control for proper operation.
The first chapter presents different types of hydroelectric power plants in their field of application, and at the same time the type of power plant used in the specific case is also presented, including the goals we wanted to achieve.
The second chapter explains how we made decisions when designing the electrical diagram, what we had to pay special attention to and how the electrical diagram drawing process was carried out.
The third chapter describes the necessary steps in device configuration and controller programming, as well as some of the more important functions in the program.
In the fourth chapter, we attempt to show the process required to bring the entire system to life and to test it thoroughly before the product leaves the workshop.
The fifth chapter describes the work carried out at the final location in the process of starting up the hydroelectric power plants, which allows for complete autonomous operation.
