Salient electrical design features of the Magat hydroelectric project

Journal Article · · IEEE Trans. Power Electronics; (United States)

The Magat River Multipurpose project on the Luzon grid of the National Power Corporation of the Philippines consists of a four unit 450 MVA powerplant placed in service towards end of year 1983 and early 1984, providing an additional installed capacity of 360 MW to the existing generation peak capacity of 2478 MW (1) of the Luzon grid, which is the country's largest grid with an installed capacity of 3906 MW, the other two being those of Visayas and Mindanao with a total installed capacity of 1095 MW. This paper describes the salient features of the electrical design including the main generation and station service single line schemes, the principal equipment parameters and layout, control and protection schemes and grounding system of the power plant.
