Experience with development and operation of the Svetlinskaya HPP (Vilyui HPP-3) under complex geologic-engineering conditions is unique in both domestic and world practice. Problems associated with development of monitoring-measuring systems for water-development works of the HPP and the shores of the near-dam section of the reservoir are examined. Experience gained with monitoring of the condition of the structures during their construction and in the initial period of service of the HPP is analyzed. It is demonstrated that the hardware/software package employed for the monitoring system, which includes a number of original organizational and technical solutions can also be recommended for application on other projects, primarily those subject to conditions of the Extreme North.
