| description | Climate change has had an impact on the reduction in river flows in many places, affecting the hydroelectric production of several power plants, and this, together with the reduction in the economic retribution for this type of generation in several countries, has meant a substantial reduction in the income of companies. To offset these economic losses, the aim is to improve production efficiency in hydroelectric power plants. Therefore, it is proposed to innovate, firstly, by using doubly fed asynchronous electrical machines, DFIG; secondly, by using new construction criteria in the power plants; and lastly, by proposing new control and regulation variables. This improves the performance of low-flow water turbines and increases their efficiency. As a practical example, a particular study is presented for the Arenas de Iguña hydroelectric power plant (Hidroiguña) located in Cantabria, Spain, which allows a technical evaluation of the proposed action to be carried out in order to draw the corresponding conclusions. |
