Hydropower Turbine Generator Monitoring
A customer wants to monitor and detect any turbine generator faults in their hydroelectric power plant located on a river.
A customer wants to monitor and detect any turbine generator faults in their hydroelectric power plant located on a river.
Interface’s solution is to use the T2 Ultra Precision Shaft Style Rotary Torque Transducer and attach it to the turbine generator with Interface’s Shaft Style Torque Transducer Couplings. When water from the river pushes through the penstock to the outflow, it moves the turbine blades, creating electricity through the generator shaft. Torsion measurements can be graphed and logged with the 9850 Torque Transducer and Load Cell Indicator catching any unusual fluctuations and vibrations.
The customer was able to monitor, graph, and log the torque measurement results of the turbine generator.
