Hydro Turbine Vibration Monitoring Vibratii Relative HE
Hydro Turbine Vibration Monitoring Vibratii Relative HE
Introduction:
The customer is HIDROELECTRICA SA, which is the main electrical producer with the help
of hydro turbines. The company is divided in several branches depending on the
geographic area. HIDROELECTRICA has the installed power of 6438 MW and it produces
approximately 30% of the entire electrical power produced in Romania. The system of
Vibration Monitoring was implemented in Hidroelectrica Oradea SA.
Application / Problem:
For the vibration monitoring at hydro turbines and generators, the customer decided to
install a Delphin TopMessage with ProfiSignal to monitor the following parameters:
The main objective is to install an easy to configure real time portable monitoring system
used for increasing the safety conditions and the prediction of faults.
Technical condition
The measurements were done according with the following standards:
ISO 7919-5:2005
The software used for fault diagnostic is ProfiSignal Basic and ProfiSignal Vibro.
Following the vibration measurements it has been established that the operating mark is
UNALLOWED according to ISO 7919.
The vibration diagnosis indicated a misalignment of the turbines shaft, but this offsetting
is caused by the instability of the inferior radial bearing LRI, practically an increased
mechanical looseness inside this bearing having the Y direction.
The figures below present the scheme of the turbine, trend analysis, orbit and FFT in the
ProfiSignal software
