Sensors and Methods for Blade Damage Operational Assessment in Low-Pressure Steam Turbine Stages
Original language description
The study deals with the opportunities for the assessment of damage to blades in low-pressure steam turbine stages under operation. So far existing methods are based on measurements and evaluation of blade vibrations. Calculations of fatigue cycles are used as a basis for an estimate of the residual life of the blades. A new approach using the analysis of impulse blade signals generated by non-contact stator sensors was applied. Basis for the assessment of blade damage are static characteristics and mutual position of blades. Geometrical and mechanical characteristics of blades change due to creation and progress of a crack. The presence of the crack leads to a change in position between adjacent blades. This method has been applied and verified by long-term measurements at the nuclear power plant Temelin. Other static methods based on blade untwisting and elongation are suggested for monitoring the state of turbine blades.
