Summary

Abnormal operating conditions can result in catastrophic failures or can accelerate the ageing process of a hydroelectric generator. Information gathering and analysis of these abnormal operating conditions are essential to understand generator behaviour during an incident, as well as the impact on generator components. Transient recorders and digital relays provide important information to understand hydro electric generator behaviour during such incidents.
