Modeling the rotor vibrations of a hydropower unit during a runaway regime

S Cupillard - Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on …, 2019 - Springer
The lateral vibrations of the shaft of a 72-MW propeller turbine are modeled and compared
to experimental data for a runaway regime. The lateral forces acting on the runner and the …

Influence of the thrust bearing on the natural frequencies of a 72-MW hydropower rotor

S Cupillard, JO Aidanpää - IOP conference series: earth and …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
The thrust bearing is an essential element of a hydropower machine. Not only does it carry
the total axial load but it also introduces stiffness and damping properties in the system. The …
