Uganda Karuma Hydropower Station Automatic Control System Design Innovation and key Technology

Karuma hydropower station is the largest one in Uganda, the total capacity is 600MW, which is almost 1/2 of the nation total capacity. It plays an important role in the stable operation of the power grid. Automatic control system is the core of the hydropower station, it is directly related to the stability of the power station and the power grid. This article describes the design innovation of station automatic control system, computer supervision and control system structure and configuration, system main functions, and summed up the safe and redundant design key technologies. It will provide important reference for the design of automatic systems for hydropower stations in the "Belt and Road countries".
