Hydro turbine control

ABB offers solutions for hydro turbine control in both large and small hydro power generation facilities. With years of experience in this field, ABB can offer turbine governor control solutions specifically engineered to fit the needs of any hydro power plant. All basic control functions are covered in ABB's solutions including, fast system response time and high bandwidth, full compliance with IEEE and IEC standards for hydroelectric turbine governing, extensive system documentation and training.

ABB's regulating system with software containing the governor algorithm ensure safe and reliable plant operation. Our hardware and software are modular in design to allow expansion for adding additional control functions in the future. Our turbine governors are capable of communicating via existing protocols with substation IEDs, control and SCADA systems .
