22 Jul 19
1:40 PM - 2:40 PM

Tracks: Waterpower Hydro Basics Course (Co-Located Event)

Learn the nuts and bolts of hydropower production as compared to other types of generation, including steam (nuclear and fossil), combustion turbine, and wind. Explore how to:

• Optimize the use of generation sources to meet normal system requirements

• Take advantage of the capability of hydro units during abnormal system operations (including

black start and under- and over-frequency capabilities)

• Adjust for changes to operating patterns brought about by integration of non-traditional

power sources
