In this paper, an attempt was taken to study the effect of the lifting pocket on THD performance of a large tilting-pad thrust bearing of Itaipu power plant. B3earing performance was evaluated including recess shape for several cases of its depth. The results show, that hydrostatic recess changes calculated bearing properties quite significantly, especially in the vicinity of the pocket

Hydrostatic assistance is a commonly used method to improve limited load carrying ability of tiltingpad thrust bearings during transient states of operation of vertical shaft hydro-generators. Despite of special hydraulic equipment (as pumps, valves, etc.), it also requires manufacturing of special recesses/pockets at pad sliding surfaces, into which oil is injected under high pressure. It allows to lift the rotor before start-up...

The increase in the number of photovoltaic (PV) systems integrated with low voltage (LV) grids has led to a great need to analyse the impact of these systems on the quality of electricity and the reliability of its supply. This paper presents and compares the energy quality requirements imposed by various countries on photovoltaic plants. Then, based on real object tests and simulation in DIgSILENT PowerFactory, the impact has...

Analizowano determinanty dokładności pomiaru wielkości charakteryzujących zaburzenia okresowe w napieciu zasilania na przykładzie wskaźnika zawartości harmonicznych (THD). Przedstawiono sposób wyznaczania niepewności pomiaru wskaźnika THD, uwzgledniajacy wystepowanie korelacji pomiędzy składową podstawową i kolejnymi harmonicznymi napiecia sieci. Przeanalizowano wpływ wystepowania składowych zaburzeń okresowych nie skorelowanych...
