Introducton Wth ncreasng shortages for energy, people have a more deeply research on renewable energy power generaton technology such as wnd power, photovoltac, mcro- hydro,and dstrbuted generaton and grd technology has been known to the publc. Chna s rch n mcro- hydro resources, mcro-hydro [1]have the advantages whch power transmsson lne s smple, low cost, low mantenance costs, envronmental polluton-free.etc, as one of mportant mcro power s ncreasngly people's attenton. From the cost analyss, f mcro- hydro uses the tradtonal control of small and medum hydro electrc power, t wll have a hgh cost,therefore, mcro-hydro use the asynchronous generator whch does not control, the output power s constant. When users load changes, mcro- hydro systems need to mantan a constant power outp ut for the power balance [2][3], users load wll absorb excess power through certan controls to ensure that the termnal voltage s constant. At present, mcro- hydro power s used n remote mountanous areas n Chna, wth the popularty of the grd, the grd n remote mountanous areas have been covered, but they are bascally on the tp of the grd,and have poor power qualty, hgh electrcty costs. On the bass of new energy technology on the network [4][5][6], ths paper proposes a new mcro- hydro power topology and control strategy that based on the self-excted nducton generator whch s not control, t can be acheved a complementary between mcro-hydro and electrc power,and reduce electrcty cost of users. Mcro-hydro Systems Topology When turbne drves n asynchronous generators, through the exctaton and electromagnetc nducton, the stator current and stator voltage are generated n the sde of generator stator. The hydropower potental dfference n the nput sde and the output load s fxed, the turbne speed s constant, the nducton generator to mantan constant voltage and frequency values, so that the generator output voltage and frequency s constant, namely,power generaton devces have a constant power output. The topology structure of mcro-hydro power system as shown n Fg.1, the user load s drectly connected to the asynchronous generator, the generator supply power to the local user load.the dfference between the generator output power and load demand power wll be backed to the grd by control crcut, thus ensurng the stablty of the system.
