As part of a collaborative programme of work between university and industry on the control of hydro-generating units supplying power to the UK national grid, equipment has been installed on a 32.5 MW unit which permits the testing of new controllers in a realistic, operational environment. A central feature of this equipment, which includes a new independent high-pressure servomotor, is that it permits the generating unit to be returned quickly to operational use with its existing controller. Full integration with the power station operator's controls, automatic control scheme and protection, permit the controllers under test to be evaluated under normal operational conditions.
