Abstract
The calibrated model was used to analyze in detail the effect of misalignment between nozzle and runner. In historic cases, this abnormal operating condition lead to severe damage in the turbine, due to the effect of fatigue in some locations of the buckets. The model reproduced well the symptoms detected in the field measurements. The stresses could be calculated, which eventually can be used to estimate the remaining useful life of the turbine.
