Application of an Electromechanical Drive for Controlling the Guide Apparatus and Impeller Blades of Hydraulic Turbines of Hydroelectric Power Plants/Pumped-Storage Electric Power Plants (HPPs/PSPs)

Abstract

The article describes the introduction of a more modern linear electromechanical drive instead of a hydraulic drive into the hydraulic unit control system at Russian HPPs/PSPs. A comparative analysis of these types of drives and the regulatory requirements for their use in the state standards of the Russian Federation and RusHydro standards are given. The objectives of the planned work are outlined.
