GUIDE TO SPECIFICATION OF HYDRAULIC TURBINE
CONTROL SYSTEMS
FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is
entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may
participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization
for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two
organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters, express as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61362 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 4: Hydraulic
turbines.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
4/119/FDIS 4/142/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
Annex A forms an integral part of this standard.
The contents of the corrigendum of March 2000 have been included in this copy.

INTRODUCTION
Recent developments have led to more stringent control system requirements with respect to
power frequency regulation and to isolated network operation. These requirements essentially
concern the primary control, which due to the use of modern, mostly electronic components,
can be tasked with some additional control functions. Also the primary control responds to a
superimposed large network control system (secondary control).
This guide mainly deals with primary control specifications; additional tasks are covered but the
guide does not elaborate on specific details.
Specifically the primary control can include some or all of the following functions:
– unit start-up and shut-down;
– idling before synchronizing and after separation from the network and synchronizing;
– isolated network operation;
– parallel operation on large networks in speed control and power output control mode;
– head water level and/or flow control;
– operating mode transitions;
– monitoring and safety functions.
The guide also deals with aspects of the actuating energy supply.
The controlled system in a hydroturbine control loop, i.e., the respective transfer function, is
characterized by:
– the unit(s), i.e. turbine(s) and generator(s);
– the water passage system;
– the network to which the unit(s) is (are) connected;
– the modes of operation as mentioned above.
The parameters of the primary control system (speed governor, power output governor, etc.)
are to be carefully matched to the prevailing system conditions in order to:
– achieve adequate stability;
– satisfy performance requirements with respect to damping, response and accuracy;
– provide safety with respect to limitations in hydraulic transients, etc.
To achieve the above, in many cases modeling and simulations are valuable. The guide refers
to some important aspects in this respect.
Since the governors have to be able to cope with a range of conditions, it is suitable practice to
specify that a certain range for the setting of parameters is available in the governors. The
guide follows this practice in the relevant part.

---------------------- Page: 5 ----------------------

61362 © IEC:1998 – 9 –
Specifically, in this guide, the performance-relevant definitions refer to the PID-controller,
which can be implemented by analog or digital means. With appropriate microcomputer
technology, higher control algorithms also can be implemented. Although it is deemed difficult
to set up specific rules at the time of the issue of this guide, the general criteria for the
adequate performance of a control system are essentially independent of the control strategy
used. This means that they remain applicable as described in this guide and that the PID-
controller can be regarded and used as a reference governor to gauge the control performance
of a system.
The guide makes reference to IEC 60308 on hydraulic turbine control systems. It relies on it for
the methods of system identification and verification of performance, etc. It is the intention of
this guide to supplement IEC 60308 by recommending performance criteria and ranges for the
setting of parameters.
To facilitate the setting up of specifications, this guide also includes data sheets, which are to
be filled out by the customer and the vendor in the various stages of the project and the
contract.

GUIDE TO SPECIFICATION OF HYDRAULIC TURBINE
CONTROL SYSTEMS
1 General
1.1 Scope and object
This guide includes relevant technical data necessary to describe hydraulic turbine control
systems and define their performance. It is aimed at unifying and thus facilitating the bidding
specifications and technical bids. It will also serve as a basis for setting up technical
guarantees.
In case of separate vendors for different segments of a system, the interface between them is
especially important.
The guide is not confined to the control loop functions proper but includes all important
functions of a control system, i.e., it also treats sequencing functions, etc. Hydraulic turbine
control is thus understood to include:
– speed, power, water level and discharge control for reaction and impulse-type turbines
including double regulated machines;
– means of providing actuating energy;
– safety devices for emergency shut-down, etc;
– environmental performance criteria.
The guide aids the selection of some important parameters to be specified and checked in
relation to the different types of installations.
Excluded topics are acceptance tests, specific test procedures and guarantees.

3 Control system structure
In the hydraulic turbine control, various tasks can be specified with varying priority. Realization
leads to certain typical control system structures and in turn to some basic rules to be adhered
to.
Such typical arrangements are compiled for clarification.
3.1 Main control functions
In hydraulic turbine control, these major control functions can be distinguished:
– speed control;
– power output control;
– level control;
– opening and flow control.
In some systems combinations of these control functions also occur.

---------------------- Page: 16 ----------------------

61362 © IEC:1998 – 31 –
3.1.1 Speed control
The purpose of the speed control basically is to maintain constant frequency. In the various
modes of operation this means that:
– in the isolated network mode, the actual speed and therefore the frequency corresponds to
the command signal setting;
– in the operation on the grid, where the speed is determined by the network frequency, the
speed control contributes to the network frequency control through the permanent droop
and the dynamic characteristics of the controlled system;
– in the idling mode (before synchronization and after separation from the network), the
actual speed corresponds to the command signal or the existing network frequency with
some slip.
3.1.2 Power output control
The power output control with a separate power governor is applied with the unit connected to
the grid, its purpose is to control the power output of the unit according to a power command
signal irrespective of head variations. Any frequency variations influence the power level
additionally via the permanent droop.
It is noted that in the cases where head variations can be ignored, a closed loop power output
control, i.e., a power output governor, may not be necessary. In such a case, linearization
between command signal and power output may suffice (see 3.2.1). In this case also, any
frequency variations influence the power level additionally via the permanent speed droop.
3.1.3 Level/flow/opening control
The purpose of a level/flow/opening control is to keep the level, flow or opening constant or to
make it follow a command signal.
3.2 Configurations of combined control systems
In combined systems, each control function can be assigned to a separate controller. However,
the controllers all actuate the same main servo-positioner through the opening setpoint.
Thereby, a bump-free switch-over between modes requires attention. In case of separate
controllers, parameters shall be set according to the respective control loop. Level and power
output control, etc, are often incompatible with the maintenance of speed in an isolated
network. The speed governor always remains functional for safety reasons, e.g., to take over in
the case of a load rejection.
3.2.1 Parallel structure
Two governors are arranged in parallel and actuate one or several servo-positioners via a
selector or a summing point. If a selector is applied, it often includes a max./min. function for
the speed control loop to prevail in the case of a load rejection.

---------------------- Page: 17 ----------------------

61362 © IEC:1998 – 33 –
If a summing point is applied, the switching of signals is avoided, but the power output
governor then influences speed control additionally and shall be set to ensure stability.
