Vibration analysis of a steam turbine blade

ABSTRACT Blade failure is a common problem of a steam turbine and it’s failure in-service results in safety risks, repair cost and non operational revenue losses. Thus, the reliability of these blades is very important for the successful operation of a steam turbine. Dynamic analysis of a steam turbine blade in computational environment is carried out in the present work. In order to gain physi...

A Decision Tree Approach for Steam Turbine-Generator Fault Diagnosis

Redundancy and inconsistency are universal features of the turbine vibration fault diagnosis. If we can provide a solution to the problem, it should be very meaningful that the fault diagnosis data included redundant and inconsistent information could be used to decision-making rules of fault diagnosis. A novel data mining approach for fault diagnosis of turbine generator unit is proposed based...

Multi-objective optimization of heat recovery steam generators

In this paper, a multi-objective method is used to optimize a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). Two objective functions have been used in the optimization, which are irreversibility and HRSG equivalent volume. The former expresses the exergetic efficiency and the latter demonstrates the cost of the HRSG. Decision variables are geometric and operational parameters of the HRSG. The result...
