Of course, hydroelectric power plants need to keep an eye on flow, level, temperature, and pressure. But don't forget about force, a key measurement as reservoirs are surrounded by rock and earth. There's also the matter of instrument calibration, an essential aspect …
A hydroelectric power plant requires constant monitoring for it to operate safely and efficiently. Another essential is regular maintenance, which reduces unplanned downtime and lengthens a facility's lifespan. WIKA has a comprehensive portfolio of high-quality …
The modern hydropower plant is a wondrous innovation based on millennia of human ingenuity. This article, the first of a three-part series, explores this technology's history and the basic mechanics of how a hydroelectric power plant works. Humans have long …
In geothermal plants, transforming the earth’s heat into electricity imposes challenging conditions on pressure measurement equipment. WIKA’s pressure monitoring instruments and diaphragm seals can withstand harsh environments, as shown in a recent installation at …
Turbines, pumps, and compressors produce significant vibrations, which can lead temperature measurement instruments to give incorrect readings and cause premature sensor failure. Pt100 RTDs can withstand several times more vibration than standard elements, making them …
