Abstract

Intentional islanded grid operation utilizing local renewable generation units can significantly mitigate the impact of power failures. The LINDA 2.0 project demonstrates the feasibility of using an existing hydro power plant as an automated emergency power supply for critical loads. A tool is developed to assist the operator during the islanded operation of a Kaplan hydro power plant, enabling system estimation and monitoring functions. The tool serves as a crucial aid for operators in assessing system stability, e.g., ensuring that protection limits are not exceeded and thus preventing load loss and secure operation. Leveraging its monitoring and estimation capabilities, the tool increases the reliability of the emergency power supply and minimizes consequential damage by effective monitoring and alert management.
