Hydro generation facility undergoes a successful upgrade

Project Overview This hydro generation facility consists of a single, 2750kVA horizontal turbine generator that generates at 6.6kV. The objective of this turnkey project was to upgrade the generation protection and control systems, automate the facility, provide remote operation from central dispatch, improve asset protection and increase reliability. This project consisted of replacing many of the control systems while keeping the main infrastructure in place. Eaton’s complete overhaul of the controls systems enhances the ability of the utility to remotely monitor the condition and status of the generating plant. Resulting in faster response times to plant issues and greatly shortened start-up and shut-down times. Success Story: Hydroelectric Hydro generation facili
