Power
Unit
“Integrating all unit control functions into
one digital controller can reduce hardware, system
design, and interfacing costs. As a result of the
reduced hardware and interconnectivity between
systems, an integrated digital unit control system may
HPU
also have a significantly increased reliability
when compared to a system that comprises separate
unit controller, governing controller, and excitation
controller systems.”
 COMBINED SYSTEM
ADVANTAGES

- Engineering simplification (design, programming and testing);

- Simplification and time reduction of installation and commissioning;
- Simplification and time reduction of operation and maintenance.
- Reduction in the number of equipment (panels, controllers, etc.);
- Cost reduction with spare parts (reduced number of components);
- Reduction of cables and interfaces;
- Reduction of required physical space;
- Equipment energy consumption reduction;
