This book reports on a comprehensive study addressing the dynamic responses of hydropower
plants under diverse conditions and disturbances and analyzes their stability and
oscillations. Multiple models based on eight existing hydropower plants in Sweden and China
were developed and used for simulations and theoretical analysis with various degrees of
complexity and for different purposes and compared with on-site measurements for validations.
The book offers important insights into the understanding of the hydraulic mechanical and
electrical coupling mechanisms up to market conditions and incentives. It recommends control
strategies for a more stable and efficient operation of hydropower plants.
