Iranian Company Indigenizing Parts of Hydropower Plants

Iranian engineers have indigenized an important piece of equipment used in hydroelectric power plants, the deputy for operation affairs at Iran Water and Power Resources Development Company.
“The automatic voltage regulator, which is one of the main components of hydroelectric power stations, has been manufactured and will be used in the power plants,” Jalaleddin Hojjati was quoted as saying by IRNA.
AVR is used to regulate the voltage. It takes a fluctuating voltage and changes it into a stable power. Fluctuation in voltage occurs mainly due to variation in load on the supply system. Variations in voltage often damage power equipment.
