Fault Analysis and Optimization of Mechanical Braking System of Pumped Storage Unit
Aiming at the mechanical brake system of common pumped storage units in China,the failure causes of the mechanical brake system are explored.According to the working principle,the common failures during the high-speed brake or brake start of the unit are analysed.Optimization measures are proposed from the aspects of management,design and control logic to improve the start-stop safety of pumped storage units and provide reference suggestions.
