Operation of an isolated hydro plant supplying an HVDC transmission load

Conference · · IEEE Trans. Power Appar. Syst.; (United States)
OSTI ID:7134327
Manitoba Hydro's Kettle Generating Station, situated on the Nelson River in northern Manitoba, is an isolated hydroelectric plant supplying power directly to Radisson HVDC rectifier station. Some characteristics of this transmission system require the control systems to have special features to ensure successful operation of the generating station. The important system characteristics, the problems they can cause and the solution of the problems through control features are described.
