Application of wireless measurement technology in hydraulic turbine test

Abstract

At present, the measurement of internal characteristics of hydraulic machinery runner (blade pressure pulsation, pressure field and dynamic stress) and blade torque is difficult to be realized by the existing wired measurement methods due to the measurement object is a high-speed rotating part. This paper will introduce the system composition and application in hydraulic machinery of the wireless measurement technology one by one. In the measurement of model hydraulic machinery, it is mainly used to measure the rotating part. The sensors work in water, including measuring the internal characteristics of the runner (blade pressure pulsation, pressure field and dynamic stress) and blade torque. The wireless measurement technology that is by laying the corresponding measurement unit at the measured part, the signal sensed by the sensor is collected and stored by the node, and then wirelessly transmitted through the node, and the data is received through the wireless gateway and enters the computer acquisition system.
