IMPLEMENTAÇÃO PRÁTICA DE UM SISTEMA DE ANÁLISE DE VIBRAÇÃO EM UNIDADES GERADORAS DE UMA USINA HIDRÉLETRICA

Abstract

The present monographic work deals with the study and implementation of a vibration measurement system in generating units of a hydroelectric power plant, located in the state of Minas Gerais. Vibration meters in generators is essential to ensure the efficient and safe operation of these equipment. Vibration measurement and analysis help identify problems such as misalignment, unbalance, component wear, and structural failures before they become critical. Key focus points include: Minimizing the transmission of vibrations to the building structure; Use of advanced sensors and software to monitor vibrations in real time and perform predictive analysis; Definition of acceptable vibration limits to diagnose potential failures and prevent further damage. Data from the plant, the systems where the measurements were installed, the entire process of specification of the materials and equipment used, phases of design, installation, testing and commissioning of the system until the commissioning and collection of measurement data from the respective circuits will be presented.
