Abstract
Current trends in the development of power engineering are turning attention towards modernization of the machinery and equipment. Modernization of the LP (low-pressure) part of a turbine is one of the most promising solutions. A natural question which arises concerns the effectiveness of such modernization, i.e. a comparison of the characteristics (efficiency) of this turbine part before and after modernization. Such a comparison may be based on measurements of the efficiency of the LP part and the last stage before and after the modernization, provided that the efficiency gain achieved exceeds the measuring error. This paper deals with the estimation of the accuracy of such a measurement, the principle and methodology of which have been developed at the Institute of Fluid-Flow Machinery (IFFM) for a real turbine.
