A new advance in vibration monitoring, developed with EPRI, facilitates the measurement of torsional vibration and is expected to be of significant value to power plants relying on a wide range of ...

Steam turbine rotors are susceptible to bending during some operational evolutions, which can lead to excessive vibration and ultimately failure. Rotor bending that results in premature failure of ...

Steam turbine blades are critical components in power generation, and their failure can have profound economic and safety implications. Recent studies have underscored the importance of understanding ...

Researchers have taken a key step toward helping wildlife coexist more safely with wind power generation by demonstrating the success of an impact detection system that uses vibration sensors mounted ...

New blades are to be installed in the low-pressure turbines at unit 1 of Sweden's Forsmark nuclear power plant during an upcoming maintenance outage. The new blades are designed to reduce vibrations, ...

Jet engine vibration is arguably the worst enemy of a typical aircraft maintenance team. Parts which are out of balance can eventually result in a cracked turbine, fan, and compressor components, as ...

Professor Moaveni highlights our efforts in system identification of three operational offshore wind turbines. The turbines are located in the first two offshore wind farms in the US, namely the Block ...

The Northwest’s only nuclear power plant near Richland is back online after adjustments to a turbine. Courtesy Energy Northwest The Columbia Generating Station is back online after Energy Northwest ...

Throughout both the commercial and military aviation industry, jet engine vibration is an everyday concern, as maintenance, repair, and overhaul crews worldwide are responsible with monitoring ...

Wind turbines are popular—in theory. Gallup data show about 70% of Americans want “more emphasis” on wind energy. Plenty of politicians like the idea, too. President Biden’s proposed Energy Efficiency ...
