Abstract :
The author describes how, in 1997, Rocky Reach hydroelectric power plant (USA) became one of the first hydropower projects to use a Windows NT based plant control system with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) controlling the unit auxiliary systems. The new system uses off-the-shelf software and hardware to create an inexpensive yet versatile plant automation system
