Application Case Studies
Real world vibration case studies in Power Generation
A UK-based wind turbine manufacturer needs to perform structural health monitoring of their products. Specifically, they to carry out blade fatigue testing with static and cyclic loading of the blades.
A vibration problem arose at an Open Cycle Gas Turbine. Following an outage on the four gas turbines and two SSS clutches, the machine returned to service with unacceptable vibration levels on some generation runs.
Aberthaw was a coal-fired power station. It was capable of generating around 1555MW of electricity, enough power to meet the needs of 1.5 million households – equivalent to the total population of five cities the size of Cardiff.
Ever wonder if there is a vibration condition monitoring system that can be installed and then monitored from anywhere? Even on your smartphone? Prosig recently configured its PROTOR system to do just that.
OLVMS at Cockenzie
When Cockenzie opened in 1967, it was the largest power station in Scotland with four 300MW coal-fired turbine generators. The Power Station generated more than 150 Terawatt Hours
(TWh) of electricity in its lifetime.
