Development of Reliability Verification Technology for Gas Turbine Rotor Blades Using an Actual Unit (High-temperature Non-contact Blade Vibration Measurement Technology)
As an economical and clean thermal power generating facility, gas turbine combined cycle
power generation is attracting attention, and the market is expected to expand across the world on
a long-term basis. While developing the world's first 1,600°C-class Type-J gas turbine for better
performance, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd. (MHPS) also proceeded with research for
the development of high-temperature special measurement technology that can be applied under
actual operating conditions, with a view to obtaining technological evaluation data on
newly-developed components and using it as feedback in design. This report introduces our
high-temperature non-contact blade vibration measurement technology, which enables the
examination of the turbine's first-stage rotor blade vibrations. This technology is applicable to the
high-temperature (max. 1,600°C) environment of actual gas turbines.
