Waterpower Hydro Basics Course: Hydro in a Power System (Room A106)

Learn the nuts and bolts of hydropower production as compared to other types of generation, including steam (nuclear and fossil), combustion turbine, and wind. Explore how to:
• Optimize the use of generation sources to meet normal system requirements
• Take advantage of the capability of hydro units during abnormal system operations (including black start and      under- and over-frequency capabilities)

 • Adjust for changes to operating patterns brought about by integration of non-traditional power sources
