Some features of the systems for monitoring and diagnostic hydro units technical condition with considering smart grid technology

Abstract

Recently, hydro units are used in maneuverable modes, which leads to an increase in the load on all elements of hydro units. It can lead to unpredictable failure of their components and even failures in the operation of the hydroelectric power plant. Therefore, the use of diagnostic systems is appropriate for solving such problems. The most promising non-destructive diagnostic systems are vibration diagnosis systems. However, the effectiveness of their use depends on the diagnosis algorithms, which depend on the features and functioning of the diagnosed unit of the power unit. In this work, some models of vibration signals of hydraulic units and features of the construction of vibration diagnostics systems of hydrogenerator units are considered
