Survey on hydro generator instrumentation and monitoring

The increased demand for electric energy is requiring higher availability of power plants. To enable various power producing entities to produce a more reliable and cost effective product at higher levels of safety, a more stringent and consistent condition monitoring program is required. WG A1.40 was formed to produce a Technical Brochure (TB) which would identify the current instrumentation and monitoring systems installed on various components of different types of hydro generators around the world.
