Abstract
It has been an important indication of mankind’s civilization process that utilizes
any types of power to help or totally replace the human labour since the beginning
of the human history. Water resources are so important to human beings that they
are essential living conditions for survival, so most of the ancient civilization sites
were located along the rivers. HyDROPower is one of the oldest forms of natural
energy that our ancestors harnessed, and using waterpower to generate electricity
represents more than one century of technology, which is almost as old as the
invention of the electricity generating. However, how to make the hydroelectric
generating process safer, more reliable and more efficient is still an active research
field, in which there are still spaces for improvement. The dynamic performance
and control for hydroelectric power plant is the neural centre of the plant and the
most rapidly developing field in the hydro electrical engineering. Egypt gave a
great interest in utilizing the hydroelectric power to produce electricity more than
100 years ago. Today, About 90% of the Nile River’s energy potential in Egypt has
been utilized; the remaining 10% of the Nile River’s energy potential is ranked in
low head category. Steps have been taken to harness these low head potentials.
This requires the installation of small and many hydroelectric power plants. One of
these plants has already been commissioned at El-Lahoun, and the remained will be
followed subsequently up to 2017.
