IEC 60308:2024(Main)
Hydraulic turbines - Testing of governing systems

IEC 60308:2024 deals with the definition and the characteristics of control systems. It is not limited to the actual controller tasks but also includes other tasks which may be assigned to a control system, such as sequence control tasks, safety and provision for the actuating energy. The following systems are included, speed, power, opening, water level and flow control for all turbine types; electronic, electrical and fluid power devices; safety devices as well as start-up and shutdown devices. The significant technical changes introduced by the third edition are the adoption of parts of IEC 61362:2024 which deal with test matters and the introduction of new technical aspects.

Guidelines to specification of hydraulic turbine governing systems

IEC 61362:2024 includes relevant technical data necessary to describe hydraulic turbine governing systems and to define their performance. It is aimed at unifying and thus facilitating the selection of relevant parameters in bidding specifications and technical bids. It will also serve as a basis for setting up technical guarantees. The scope of this standard is restricted to the turbine governing level. Additionally some remarks about the control loops of the plant level and about primary and secondary frequency control (see also Annex B) are made for better understanding without making a claim to be complete. Important topics covered are:
- speed, power, water level, opening and flow (discharge) control for reaction and impulse-type turbines including double regulated machines;
- means of providing actuating energy;
- safety devices for emergency shutdown.
To facilitate the setting up of specifications, this guide also includes data sheets, which are to be filled out by the customer and the supplier in the various stages of the project and the contract. Acceptance tests, specific test procedures and guarantees are outside the scope of the guide; those topics are covered by IEC 60308. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2012. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: adoption of parts of IEC 60308:2005 which deal with specification matters; introduction of several new technical topics; and overall editorial revision.

Pelton hydraulic turbines - Model acceptance tests

IEC 63461:2024 applies to laboratory model tests of any type of Pelton hydraulic turbine with unit power greater than 5 MW. It contains the rules governing test conduct and provides measures to be taken if any phase of the tests is disputed.
The main objectives of this document are:
- to define the terms and quantities used;
- to specify methods of testing and of measuring the quantities involved, in order to ascertain the hydraulic performance of the model;
- to specify the methods of computation of results and of comparison with guarantees;
- to determine if the contract guarantees that fall within the scope of this document have been fulfilled;
- and to define the extent, content and structure of the final report.
Full application of the procedures herein described is not generally justified for machines with smaller power. Nevertheless, this document can be used for such machines by agreement between the purchaser and the supplier.

IEC TS 62882:2020(Main)
Hydraulic machines - Francis turbine pressure fluctuation transposition

IEC/TS 62882:2020(E) which is a Technical Specification, provides pressure fluctuation transposition methods for Francis turbines and pump-turbines operating as turbines, including:
- description of pressure fluctuations, the phenomena causing them and the related problems;
- characterization of the phenomena covered by this document, including but not limited to inter-blade vortices, draft tube vortices rope and rotor-stator interaction;
- demonstration that both operating conditions and Thoma numbers (cavitation conditions) are primary parameters influencing pressure fluctuations;
- recommendation of ways to measure and analyse pressure fluctuations;
- identification of potential resonances in test rigs and prototypes;
- identification of methods, to transpose the measurement results from model to prototype or provide ways to predict pressure fluctuations in prototypes based on statistics or experience;
- recommendation of a data acquisition system, including the type and mounting position of model and prototype transducers and to define the similitude condition between model and prototype;
- presentation of pressure fluctuation measurements comparing the model turbine and the corresponding prototype;
- discussion of parameters used for the transposition from model to prototype, for example, the peak to peak value at 97 % confidence interval, the RMS value or the standard deviation in the time domain and the relation of main frequency and the rotational frequency in the frequency domain obtained by FFT;
- discussion of the uncertainty of the pressure fluctuation transposition from model to prototype;
- discussion of factors which influence the transposition, including those which cannot be simulated on the model test rig such as waterway system and mechanical system;
- establishment of the transposition methods for different types of pressure fluctuations;
- suggestion of possible methods for mitigating pressure fluctuation;
- definition of the limitations of the specification.
This document is limited to normal operation conditions. Hydraulic stability phenomena related to von Karman vortices, transients, runaway speed and speed no load are excluded from this document.
This document provides means to identify potential resonances in model test rigs and prototype turbines. Scaling-up resonance conditions are not treated in this document. When resonance exists, the transposition methods identified in this document do not apply. Under these conditions, the relationship between model and prototype pressure fluctuations cannot be determined.
This document is concerned neither with the structural details of the machines nor the mechanical properties of their components, so long as these characteristics do not affect model pressure fluctuations or the relationship between model and prototype pressure fluctuations.
