The major objective proposed by the authors is to monitor the transformation of the kinetic energy of water into electricity. Due to the impossibility of directly measuring the turbine elements as a whole, remote data transmission was chosen. This information is collected from the generator of the hydroelectric turbine through transducer elements into digital signals, is encoded and transmitted wirelessly to the receiver located on the shore, decoded, and then processed in real time and displayed on the monitor screen of a computer system in order to make decisions when the situation requires it. Data transmission is carried out in both directions (half duplex) through an efficient request/response communication protocol. Considering that the turbine is located in a hard-to-reach place, on the river, it was imposed to supply with reserve electric energy, autonomous from batteries, for the electronic part that is responsible for acquiring data from the hydroelectric generator. In this way, the monitoring circuit works permanently regardless of the turbine’s operating mode: normal or fault. The authors also present in detail the research methodology, the research results, the final conclusions resulting from the experimental data as well as the original contributions made through this applied research.}, title={Data Acquisition System for a Hydroelectric Turbine with Deformable Blades}, type={Article}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/133582/AMM-2024-4-47-Titu.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2024.151437}, keywords={Acquisition system, modeling and experimental optimization, SCADA, scientific research, communication protocols}, }
