Automatic control of hydropower station is hydropower station automation, which is defined as automatic operation and control of main equipment of hydropower station by mechanical, electrical and electronic equipment according to predetermined procedures. Applied discipline: water conservancy science and technology (first-class discipline); Hydropower (two disciplines); Equipment Circuit of Hydropower Station and Substation (Grade III Specialty)

It is suggested to refer to the textbook "Hydropower Station Automation (Third Edition)", which specifically expounds the basic theory and application technology of hydropower station automation. This book is divided into six chapters, the main contents include: the purpose and content of hydropower station automation, the application of computer in hydropower station, the automatic juxtaposition and excitation adjustment of hydro-generators, the automatic control of frequency and active power, the automatic control of auxiliary equipment and the automatic program control of hydro-generator sets, etc. The information in the book mainly reflects the automation technology of hydropower stations in China at present, and also introduces the advanced technology and development trend at home and abroad. "Hydropower Station Automation (3rd Edition)" is a teaching material for the specialty of "Water Conservancy and Hydropower Power Engineering" in colleges and universities, and can also be used as a teaching reference book for related majors and a reference for related engineers and technicians.
