HYDRELEC 300: 300-W HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANT
This system shows the contextualization of a Pumped Storage Power plants (PSP), identical to dams situated in “Grand’Maison » in Isère and “Lac noir » in Vosges (France).
It allows the students to apprehend the installation, commissioning fo a frequency variator, to master the control part, with approaches similar to real industrial world.
