Experience in operating and reconstructing the turbine bearings of units of the Sayano-Shushenskoe hydroelectric station

Conclusion The 15-year operating experience showed that the right choice of the design of the guide bearing was made. Today it can be considered among the most reliable components of the turbine. The existing opinion about the higher reliability of only rubber ring and oil bearings is not quite correct; where the specifications allow, one can safely use the design of a segmental turbine bearing with water lubrication.Translated from Gidrotekhnicheskoe Stroitel'stvo, No. 4, pp. 32–34, April, 1994.

Experience in planning and design works for reconstructing and modernizing the mechanical equipment of hydroelectric stations

Conclusion Timely works on reconstructing and modernizing equipment with consideration of the operating experience gained will make it possible to increase the reliability and life of structures and equipment. Translated from Gidrotekhnicheskoe Stroitel'stvo, No. 10, pp. 17–20, October, 1997.     

Experience in placing roller-compacted concrete in structures of the Bureya hydroelectric station

Conclusions Despite some, for now, lag behind the indices of world hydrotechnical construction achieved with the use of rollcrete technology [3], these works are presently being mastered on the construction of the Bureya dam and with a search for solutions on the placement of a SCM at negative temperatures needed under our climatic conditions. This experience is unconditionally useful for designing and constructing future hydrotechnical structures of the Moks, Gilyui, and other hydrostations.
