Abstract

One of the popular renewable-based power plants that are appropriate to be installed in developing countries such as Indonesia due to its stability, efficient operation, and economic point of view is Micro-Hydro Power Plant (MHPP). Frequency stability of power plant systems refers to the ability of the generator to maintain a steady frequency during and post faults and rapid dynamic load. To keep the stability of power system frequency from fluctuations, generating units change their power output automatically according to the change of the system frequency or load by balancing the active power with the loads. To keep the stability frequency on MHPP, active power fast control is employed in this study, and all the systems of MHPP and the frequency control are carried out and simulated extensively using MATLAB/Simulink. With the active power control through a fast valving mechanism using the HSVC method, the duration of stability frequency response is faster compared to the system without fast control.
