03109: Hydraulic Generating Station Balance of Plant Maintenance Catalogue

CEATI participants operate and maintain over 1,000 generating stations located throughout North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. The maintenance work conducted at these stations is widely recognized as an essential business process required for achieving strategic goals of safety, reliability, and production in a cost-effective manner. However, too often, assets that are not directly related to power generation are overlooked from the perspective of applying a sufficient amount of ma

0308A: CPF: Risk Management: A Snapshot of Industry Practice

The objective of this project is to take a 'snapshot' of current industry risk management practice. Its aim is to assist individual hydroelectric utilities to identify and develop the most appropriate program for their business by learning what the electric utilities and industries with large valuable assets are doing. Utilities may also have the opportunity to follow up on specific risk issues with companies excelling in a particular area of interest. In particular, it investigated how utilitie

0377: CPF: Hydraulic Unit Governor Upgrading Guide

The requirements for controlling the speed of electricity generating units, and hence the frequency of the power systems, have become increasingly more demanding as electricity applications have increased in variety and magnitude. The inertia of the water contained in the penstocks ofhydroelectric units imposes considerable limitation to their rate of output change. Additionally, the mechanical governors can hardly manage the conflicting requirements of frequency control stability and fast deliv

0333: CPF: Staff Management of Hydraulic Generating Stations

In many utilities traditional staff management has come under pressure from many influences including demographics, the ability to attract and retain qualified staff, cost of operations, and the requirement to satisfy competing corporate goals and initiatives through staffing.A traditional approach in large utilities is to have specialized engineering capability supporting the work of multi-skilled trades. For many utilities beyond the construction phases that do not have ongoing high intensity

0382: CPF: Criteria for the Identification and Selection of Environmentally Acceptable (EA) Lubricants

The adoption of environmentally acceptable (EA) lubricants requires both industrial and regulatory support. To obtain this support, EA lubricants must meet critical environmental and performance specifications. However, the standard specifications currently listed by lubricant formulators do not provide sufficient clarity that these environmental and performance requirements are being met. For this study, methods for identifying high quality environmentally acceptable (EA) lubricants were assess

0317: CPF: Teflon Coated Thrust Bearing Pads for Hydro-Generators: Russian and Chinese Experience Feedback

Since the Teflon-coated thrust bearings have been very commonly used in the eastern countries, the project approach of the Technology Review is to make a performance and reliability evaluation of the Teflon coated thrust bearing pads on use in the hydro-generators, based on the operational feedback from a number of Russian and Chinese utilities. A systematic analysis of the field behavior of these bearings is conducted based on the information received from local scientists and end-users and the
