Turbine Outage
 
Only been apart twice in my 20 years here and never once an oil change. Pretty cool since it rarely has shut down for more than an hour or two per year.

That is a huge turbine, WOW.

Nice! I'm in the hoist and crane service industry and involved with all of the Duke Energy outages. Every time I see these pics it makes you realize how many parts are in these turbines. I have some pics of a outage where I modernized a 175 ton bridge crane, I'll see if I can find some.

Why'd it break?

sonicss31 03-04-2012 09:16 AM

Not broken, open for inspection and control upgrades.

Yaga, as in the witch-like character from russian folklore?

I think BoatMe has a few ex's that may fit the bill?

Spell check moderator! Dayum it. Russian? Like hurry to get it done?

COOL
The "steam ring" sections get machined here where I work.
Amazing technology goes into the shape of the blades and vanes.
Design that creates a fraction of percent increase in efficiency gets a BIG payoff when used for so many years.

Amazing what 5M would buy back 20 years ago.


What is the replacement cost on that thing in todays dollars?

MJ2562 You ever come to Oconee for our outages?

mj2562 04-08-2012 06:23 AM

No but I have done Kiowee outage for the backup hydro station that's on the same site. You have some work coming up over there?
