- the first threshold (Hoptmax1) is a determination value for determining whether or not the operating point of the water turbine (21) has reached the cavitation region, and changes according to the flow rate command value (Q *).
- step St4 when the effective head (H) is larger than the first threshold (Hoptmax1), it is determined that the operating point of the water turbine (21) is in the cavitation region. Then, it is determined that the hydroelectric power generation system (10) is in an abnormal state.

- the first solenoid valve (15) is disposed on the upstream side of the water turbine (21) in the first branch pipe (12) to maintain the closed state when not energized and the open state when energized. It is done. Therefore, when the power is lost, the first solenoid valve (15) is not energized and is closed, so water does not flow through the first branch pipe (12).
- the abnormality detection means detects an abnormality, water can be prevented from flowing through the first branch pipe (12) by deenergizing the first solenoid valve (15).
- the solenoid valve is used as the on-off valve, the first branch pipe (12) to the second branch pipe (13) can be used at the time of power loss with a low cost and simple configuration. It is possible to switch the pipeline (1) through which

- the abnormality detection means should just detect these abnormalities.
- the solenoid valves (15, 16) may be configured to be able to be energized from a power supply via a switch, and the switch may be opened and closed by the solenoid valve control unit (60).
- the on-off valve is not limited to the solenoid valve, and may be any one that opens and closes the main valve according to energization and de-energization.
- the flow volume (Q) of the water which flows through a water turbine (21) was detected using the flowmeter (17), it is not limited to this, Without providing a flowmeter (17) It is also good.

水車(21)は、管路(1)の途中に配置されており、流体機械の一例である。この例では、水車(21)は、羽根車、及びケーシングを備えている。羽根車には、渦巻きポンプに備えるインペラが流用されている。この羽根車の中心部には、回転軸(19)が固定されている。そして、水車(21)に流入した流体は、ケーシングに形成された流体流入口からの水流によりインペラが圧力を受けて回転して、回転軸(19)を回転させるようになっている。なお、水車(21)に流入した流体は、ケーシングに形成された流体排出口から排出される。
発電機(22)は、水車(21)の回転軸(19)に連結されて回転駆動されて、発電を行う。この例では、発電機(22)は、永久磁石埋込型のロータと、コイルを有したステータとを備えている。
管路(1)には、流入管(11)、流出管(14)、第1分岐管(12)及び第2分岐管(13)が接続されている。本実施形態の管路(1)は、金属管(例えばダクタイル鋳鉄管)によって構成されている。流入管(11)の流入端には貯水槽(2)が接続されている。流出管(14)の流出端には受水槽(3)が接続されている。流入管(11)と流出管(14)との間には、第1分岐管(12)及び第2分岐管(13)が互いに並列に接続されている。第1分岐管(12)は、水車(21)を駆動する水が流れる主路を構成する。第2分岐管(13)は、水車(21)をバイパスする迂回路を構成する。
系統連系インバータ(30)は、インバータ部を構成する複数のスイッチング素子を備える。系統連系インバータ(30)には、発電機コントローラ(40)からの直流電力が入力される。複数のスイッチング素子をスイッチングすることで、直流電力が交流電力に変換される。系統連系インバータ(30)が生成した交流電力は、電力系統(8)に供給(逆潮流)される。
図2に示すように、制御装置としての発電機コントローラ(40)は、AC/DCコンバータ(41)と、発電機制御部(50)と、電磁弁制御部(60)とを備えている。
AC/DCコンバータ(41)は、複数のスイッチング素子を備え、発電機(22)によって発電された電力(交流電力)をスイッチングして直流電力に変換する。AC/DCコンバータ(41)の出力は、平滑コンデンサによって平滑化され、系統連系インバータ(30)に出力される。
発電機制御部(50)は、水車(21)を流れる水の流量(Q)を目標流量に近付ける流量制御を行う。ここで、この目標流量は、例えば管路(1)からの水が供給される供給対象の要求によって定められる。発電機コントローラ(40)には、この目標流量に相当する流量指令値(Q*)が入力される。
電磁弁制御部(60)は、マイクロコンピュータと、それを動作させるためのプログラムが格納されたメモリディバイスとを用いて構成されている。電磁弁制御部(60)は、落差演算器(62)、落差判定部(63)、及び電磁弁制御器(64)を備えている。
水力発電システム(10)の運転パラメータ、及びこれらの関係について図3を参照しながら詳細に説明する。図3に示すグラフ(特性マップ(M)ともいう)は、縦軸が水車(21)の有効落差(H)、横軸が水車(21)を流れる流量(Q)を示している。ここで、水車(21)での有効落差(H)は、貯水槽(2)の液面から受水槽(3)の液面までの間の総落差(Ho)から、貯水槽(2)の水が管路(1)を経て受水槽(3)に至るまでの管路抵抗に相当する落差を減じたものである。
水力発電システム(10)の運転動作について図4を参照しながら説明する。図4において、水力発電システム(10)の運転が開始されると、発電機コントローラ(40)は起動制御を行い、第1電磁弁(15)及び第2電磁弁(16)が通電される(ステップSt1)。この起動制御では、第1電磁弁(15)が開状態となり、第2電磁弁(16)が閉状態となるので、水は、第2分岐管(13)を流れず、第1分岐管(12)を流れる。そして、水車領域において、有効落差(H)と流量(Q)との関係は、流量(Q)=0の点から、システムロスカーブ(S)と無拘束曲線との交点まで、無拘束曲線上を移動する。
本実施形態によれば、電源が喪失していないときは、第2電磁弁(16)は通電されているので閉状態となっている。このため、水は第2分岐管(13)を流れずに、第1分岐管(12)を流れることになる。一方、電源喪失時には、第2電磁弁(16)は通電されずに開状態となるので、水は第2分岐管(13)に流れることになる。したがって、電源喪失時において、発電機コントローラ(40)を停止させても、第2電磁弁(16)が開状態に切り替わり、水が第2分岐管(13)へ案内される。このため、管路(1)を流れる水の流量(Q)や圧力を確保することができる。
上記実施形態では、第1分岐管(12)における、水車(21)の上流側に第1電磁弁(15)を設けていたがこれに限定されない。変形例1では、図5に示すように、第1分岐管(12)における、水車(21)の上流側に第1電磁弁が設けられていない。その場合でも電源喪失時には、第2電磁弁(16)は通電されずに開状態となるので、水は第2分岐管(13)に流れることになる。このため、管路(1)を流れる水の流量(Q)を確保することができる。
変形例2では、図6に示すように、定流量弁や減圧弁等の無電源で機械的に流量又は圧力を調整する第1調整手段(71)が第2分岐管(13)に設けられている。このため、電源喪失時には上記調整手段により機械的に流体の流量又は圧力を調整することができるので、常時、水の流量や圧力を確保することが求められる環境であっても、水力発電システム(10)を用いることができる。さらに、電源供給時には発電機制御部(50)により水車(21)を流れる流体の流量又は圧力を調整することで、電源供給時と電源喪失時のいずれであっても常に管路(1)を流れる流体の流量又は圧力を調整することができる。
変形例3では、図7に示すように、定流量弁や減圧弁等の無電源で機械的に流量又は圧力を調整する第2調整手段(81)が流出管(14)に設けられている。このため、確実に流体の流量又は圧力を調整することができる。
