Simple Idea for Storing Parts During a Rehabilitation

摘要

At the Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) 160-MW Chickamauga hydro plant on the Tennessee River, as at many hydro facilities, open floor space in the powerhouse is at a premium. When TVA started a rehab, there was not enough space to store parts removed from the turbine-generating units that were going to be needed again when the unit was reassembled. These parts included oil piping, water piping, valves, components for the permanent magnet generator (PMG), small fittings, nuts, and bolts.
