Vibrations in Nuclear Applications
Vibrations in components in a Nuclear power plant can result in production distribution and loss of income from the facility. However, there is lacking knowledge within this field amongst manufacturers and consultancies on how to best manage these issues. The research in this programme is foremost dedicated to providing research and knowledge on the most recent developments and equipment testing for piping, generators, and turbines.
The programme's main focus areas are:
Digitalised vibration management
Technical challenges
Implementation and knowledge transfer

Grid-induced mechanical stress on the turbine-generator shaft
Grid disturbances increasingly challenge the mechanical integrity of nuclear power plant turbines, as the Nordic power system evolves with more renewables and power electronics. This study aims to identify which grid events most affect turbine-generator mechanical integrity, evaluate risk factors and assess monitoring and protection solutions.

Cavitation induced vibrations in valves
Cavitation and flow-induced vibrations in valves are critical issues in piping systems, particularly in nuclear power plants, where reliability and structural integrity are essential. These phenomena can lead to fatigue damage, erosion, and reduced operational safety.
