What is BS EN 62006 - Small hydroelectric installations about?

BS EN 62006 is an international standard that defines the test, the measuring methods, and the contractual guaranteed conditions for field acceptance tests of the generating machinery in small hydroelectric power installations. It applies to installations containing impulse or reaction turbines with unit power up to about 15 MW and a reference diameter of about 3 m. The driven generator can be of synchronous or asynchronous type. BS EN 62006 contains information about most of the tests required for acceptance of the hydraulic turbine such as safety approval tests, trial operating and reliability tests, as well for verification of cavitation, noise, and vibration conditions, if required. BS EN 62006 represents the typical methods used on smaller hydroelectric installations, and is divided into three classes as follows: Class A- Default: Normal test program (panel measurement) to determine the maximum power output of the installation. Class B- Recommended: Extended test program to determine the performance characteristics of the installation. Class C- Optional : Comprehensive test program to determine the absolute efficiency of the installation. BS EN 62006 gives all necessary references for the contract in order to execute the test, eval...
