A review study of the effect of hydraulic turbine operating vibrations on dams

One of the significant reasons for dam vibrations and hydropower plants is the operation of powerhouses. This research reviewed a wide range of studies on powerhouses, the vibration of the turbine, and dams, focusing on the vibration of the all-power house unit. Also, this paper included some types of the dam (e.g., concrete and earth dams), analyses of the powerhouse, vibrations of the turbine, vibration transition, and the relationship between dam and operation and sustainability of hydropower plant. In addition, it covers the current research on the fluid mechanism in hydropower turbine units to enhance vibration control. As a result, failures, and risks may be best managed and alleviated, reducing the costs of hydropower station running while also increasing economic sustainability. Various study gaps were discovered, and the literature was examined to provide the most detailed information on the studies examined. Future researches directions are suggested in some ways.
