4. Analysis of uncertainties in fatigue load assessment : a study on one Kaplan hydro turbine during start operation
University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Abstract : In the future, hydropower plants are expected to operate more flexibly. This will lead to a more varied operation of the turbine and the generator, such as more start and stop in order to stabilise the frequency in the grid. Studies show that these transient operations are more costly in terms of fatigue degradation, i.e. READ MORE
