Modern Control of Large Hydroelectric Generating Stations

A brief description is given of the evolution of control of large hydroelectric stations up to the present time, and also plans for control of future plants, including the John Day and Lowver Monumental plants now under construction. The design for new stations provides the same control in the powerhouse control room that would be provided at a remotecontrol station, and also is compatible, with a minimum of modification, with remote control from a central computer.
