Automation is not confined to the operation of nuclear and fossil generation facilities; it also has direct application to both run-of-the-river and pumped-storage hydropower plants. At the St Lawrence-FDR and Blenheim-Gilboa stations of the Power Authority of the State of New York, computers monitor and supervise power generation and water flow to optimize the overall efficiency of these major hydro projects.
