Hydraulic machines - Guide for dealing with hydro-abrasive erosion in Kaplan, Francis, and Pelton turbines (IEC 62364:2019)

This document gives guidelines for:
a) presenting data on hydro-abrasive erosion rates on several combinations of water quality, operating conditions, component materials, and component properties collected from a variety of hydro sites;
b) developing guidelines for the methods of minimizing hydro-abrasive erosion by modifications to hydraulic design for clean water. These guidelines do not include details such as hydraulic profile shapes which are determined by the hydraulic design experts for a given site;
c) developing guidelines based on “experience data” concerning the relative resistance of materials faced with hydro-abrasive erosion problems;
d) developing guidelines concerning the maintainability of materials with high resistance to hydro-abrasive erosion and hardcoatings;
e) developing guidelines on a recommended approach, which owners could and should take to ensure that specifications communicate the need for particular attention to this aspect of hydraulic design at their sites without establishing criteria which cannot be satisfied because the means are beyond the control of the manufacturers;
f) developing guidelines concerning operation mode of the hydro turbines in water with particle materials to increase the operation life.
It is assumed in this document that the water is not chemically aggressive. Since chemical aggressiveness is dependent upon so many possible chemical compositions, and the materials of the machine, it is beyond the scope of this document to address these issues.
It is assumed in this document that cavitation is not present in the turbine. Cavitation and hydro-abrasive erosion can reinforce each other so that the resulting erosion is larger than the sum of cavitation erosion plus hydro-abrasive erosion. The quantitative relationship of the resulting hydro-abrasive erosion is not known and it is beyond the scope of this document to assess it, except to suggest that special efforts be made in the turbine design phase to minimize cavitation.
Large solids (e.g. stones, wood, ice, metal objects, etc.) traveling with the water can impact turbine components and produce damage. This damage can in turn increase the flow turbulence thereby accelerating wear by both cavitation and hydro-abrasive erosion. Hydroabrasive erosion resistant coatings can also be damaged locally by impact of large solids. It isbeyond the scope of this document  to address these issues.
This document focuses mainly on hydroelectric powerplant equipment. Certain portions can
also be applicable to other hydraulic machines.

Machines hydrauliques - Guide relatif au traitement de l'érosion hydro-abrasive des turbines Kaplan, Francis et Pelton (IEC 62364:2019)

IEC 62364:2019 est disponible sous forme de IEC 62364:2019 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.

L'IEC 62364:2019 donne des lignes directrices pour:
a) présenter les données disponibles concernant les taux d'érosion hydro-abrasive avec  diverses combinaisons de qualité de l'eau, conditions d'exploitation, matériaux et propriétés des composants; ces données ayant été obtenues sur différents sites hydroélectriques;
b) développer des lignes directrices permettant de réduire au minimum l’érosion hydro-abrasive en apportant des modifications à la conception hydraulique normalement utilisée en l’absence de particules. Ces lignes directrices n’abordent pas les détails tels que les profils hydrauliques que les spécialistes en conception hydraulique déterminent pour un site donné;
c) développer des lignes directrices établies sur le «retour d’expérience» concernant la résistance relative de matériaux confrontés aux problèmes d’érosion hydro-abrasive;
d) développer des lignes directrices concernant la maintenabilité des matériaux résistant à l'érosion hydro-abrasive et des revêtements de surface durs;
e) développer des lignes directrices relatives à la recommandation d'une méthode, que les propriétaires pourraient appliquer, et dont il convient qu'ils l'appliquent effectivement, afin de s'assurer que les spécifications montrent la nécessité d'accorder une attention toute particulière à la conception des formes hydrauliques propres à leur site sans imposer des critères qui ne peuvent être satisfaits dans la mesure où les moyens à mettre en œuvre ne sont pas maitrisables par les constructeurs;
f) développer des lignes directrices concernant le mode de fonctionnement des turbines hydroélectriques en présence de particules afin d’accroître la durée de vie.
Ce document fait l'hypothèse d’une eau chimiquement non agressive; étant donné que cette agressivité dépend des diverses compositions chimiques possibles, ainsi que des matériaux constitutifs de la machine, le domaine d'application de ce document ne traite pas de cette question. Ce document fait également l'hypothèse de l'absence de cavitation au niveau de la turbine. En effet la cavitation et l'érosion hydro-abrasive peuvent se renforcer mutuellement de sorte que l'érosion résultante est plus importante que la somme des deux. Comme aucune formulation quantitative de cette érosion résultante n’est connue, ce document n'a pas pour objet de l'évaluer, sauf pour suggérer, lors de la phase de conception de la turbine, des efforts particuliers visant à minimiser la cavitation. Des objets solides de grandes dimensions (comme des pierres, du bois, de la glace, des objets métalliques, etc.) véhiculés par l'eau peuvent percuter les composants de la turbine et les endommager. Ces dommages peuvent pour leur part accroître la turbulence de l’écoulement et accélérer l'usure par cavitation et par érosion hydro-abrasive. Les revêtements durs résistant à l’érosion hydro-abrasive peuvent également être endommagés localement suite à l'impact de ces particules de grandes dimensions. Ce document ne traite pas de ces questions. Ce document se concentre principalement sur les équipements des centrales hydroélectriques. Certaines parties de ce document peuvent également s'appliquer à d'autres machines hydrauliques. Cette deuxième édition annule et rempl

Hidravlični stroji - Navodilo za obravnavanje hidroabrazivne erozije pri Kaplanovih, Francisovih in Peltonovih turbinah (IEC 62364:2019)

Ta dokument podaja smernice za:
a) predstavitev podatkov o stopnji hidroabrazivne erozije pri več kombinacijah kakovosti vode, pogojev obratovanja, materialov sestavnih delov in lastnosti sestavnih delov, zbranih na različnih vodnih lokacijah;
b) pripravo smernic za metode za zmanjšanje hidroabrazivne erozije s spremembami hidravlične zasnove za čisto vodo. Te smernice ne vključujejo podrobnosti, kot so oblike hidravličnega profila, ki so jih določili strokovnjaki za hidravlično zasnovo za določeno lokacijo;
c) pripravo smernic na podlagi »podatkov iz izkušenj« v zvezi z relativnim uporom materialov, ki imajo težave s hidroabrazivno erozijo;
d) pripravo smernic v zvezi z sposobnostjo vzdrževanja materialov, izredno odpornih na hidroabrazivno erozijo, in trdih prevlek;
e) pripravo smernic za priporočen pristop, ki bi ga lahko lastniki uporabili in naj bi ga uporabili za zagotavljanje, da specifikacije izražajo potrebo po namenjanju posebne pozornosti temu vidiku hidravlične zasnove na njihovih lokacijah brez določitve meril, ki jih ni mogoče izpolniti, ker so načini za njihovo izpolnitev zunaj nadzora proizvajalcev;
f) priprava smernic v zvezi z načinom delovanja hidroturbin v vodi z materiali delcev za podaljšanje dobe delovanja.
V tem dokumentu se predvideva, da voda ni kemično agresivna. Ker je agresivnost odvisna od številnih možnih kemijskih sestav in materialov stroja, obravnavanje teh vprašanj ne spada na področje uporabe tega dokumenta.
V tem dokumentu se predvideva, da kavitacija v turbini ni prisotna. Kavitacija in hidroabrazivna erozija se lahko medsebojno krepita, zaradi česar je posledična erozija večja od vsote kavitacijske erozije in hidroabrazivne erozije. Količinsko razmerje posledične hidroabrazivne erozije ni znano, pri čemer njena ocena presega področje uporabe tega dokumenta, razen za predlog, da se v fazi načrtovanja turbine posebna pozornost nameni čim večjemu zmanjšanju kavitacije.
Večji trdni deli (npr. kamni, les, led, kovinski predmeti itd.), ki potujejo z vodo, lahko vplivajo na sestavne dele turbine in povzročijo škodo. Ta škoda lahko posledično poveča turbulenco toka ter tako pospeši obrabo zaradi kavitacije in hidroabrazivne erozije. Prevleke, odporne na hidroabrazivno erozijo, se lahko poškodujejo tudi lokalno zaradi udarcev večjih trdnih delov. Obravnavanje teh vprašanj presega področje uporabe tega dokumenta.
Ta dokument se osredotoča zlasti na opremo hidroelektrarn. Nekateri deli se lahko
uporabljajo tudi za druge hidravlične stroje.

HYDRAULIC MACHINES –
GUIDELINES FOR DEALING WITH HYDRO-ABRASIVE
EROSION IN KAPLAN, FRANCIS, AND PELTON TURBINES

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62364 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 4: Hydraulic
turbines.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2013. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) the formula for TBO in Pelton reference model has been modified;
b) the formula for calculating sampling interval has been modified;
c) the chapter in hydro-abrasive erosion resistant coatings has been substantially modified;
d) the annex with test data for hydro-abrasive erosion resistant materials has been removed;
e) a simplified hydro-abrasive erosion evaluation has been added.

INTRODUCTION
The number of hydro power plants with hydro-abrasive erosion is increasing worldwide.
An overall approach is needed to minimize the impact of this phenomenon. Already at the
start of the planning phase an evaluation should be done to quantify the hydro-abrasive
erosion and the impact on the operation. For this, the influencing parameters and their impact
on the hydro-abrasive erosion have to be known. The necessary information for the evaluation
comprises among others the future design, the particle parameters of the water, which will
pass the turbine, the reservoir sedimentation and the power plant owner’s framework for the
future operation like availability or maximum allowable efficiency loss, before an overhaul
needs to be done.
Based on this evaluation of the hydro-abrasive erosion, an optimised solution can then be
found, by analysing all measures in relation to investments, energy production and
maintenance costs as decision parameters. Often a more hydro-abrasive erosion-resistant
design, instead of choosing the turbine design with the highest efficiency, will lead to higher
revenue. This analysis is best performed by the overall plant designer.
With regards to the machines, owners should find the means to communicate to potential
suppliers for their sites, their desire to have the particular attention of the designers at the
turbine design phase, directed to the minimization of the severity and effects of hydro-
abrasive erosion.
Limited consensus and very little quantitative data exists on the steps which the designer
could and should take to extend the useful life before major overhaul of the turbine
components when they are operated under severe hydro-abrasive erosion service. This has
led some owners to write into their specifications, conditions which cannot be met with known
methods and materials.

EROSION IN KAPLAN, FRANCIS, AND PELTON TURBINES



1 Scope
This document gives guidelines for:
a) presenting data on hydro-abrasive erosion rates on several combinations of water quality,
operating conditions, component materials, and component properties collected from a
