Modelling and Simulation of Hydro Power Plant using MATLAB & WatPro 3.0

Increase in demand of electricity and clean drinking water has produced a chronic need of a promising and reliable technology for the supply of both commodities, which should be entirely based on renewable sources of energy. The authors, in their previous work, had proposed a design of a hybrid power plant which used graphene membrane for power generation using reverse osmosis process. The proposal included removal of arsenic, poorly biodegradable pollutants using TiO2 nanoparticles. Chlorine production using the process of electrolysis. The plant was also electronically implemented and included pump control, fouling detection modules and decision module for the volume of effluents to be discharged. The performance of a power system is essential to be analyzed for control, stabilization and efficient modelling. In the present research paper, simulation model of the hybrid plant is analyzed. The chemical behavior is analyzed with 'Watpro 3.0' industrial software and turbine governance system is studied via MATLAB. This plant is a potential replacement of chemical purification techniques with high overhead and excess cost. It is a better, efficient, safe and reliable system to produce clean and safe drinking water and electricity simultaneously. I. INTRODUCTION One of the major problem in present scenario is power generation, which is the root cause of depletion of fossil fuel. An efficient and effective techno-economic renewable power generation techniques is proposed for trapping energy which is released during the mixing of seawater and freshwater. In consideration of centralized and decentralized frameworks for drinking water regulation in the context of risk management theory and practical challenges. The second most critical problem analyzed here is purification of contaminated water. Chemical purification is analyzed in detail in the paper. The proposed hybrid power and purification plant could be the key for a regular and safe supply of drinking water as well as power. This plant is a boon for regions of the world stricken with water or power scarcity and water contamination. The basic architecture of the proposed plant model is shown in figure 1.
