System instrumentation and data acquisition for TurboRiver-RB7

The technical evolution of the industrial groups involving hydropower turbines, determined by the request of increased efficiency and reliability, imposes the control through modern command and control automation systems. The paper presents a quick view of a possible system for instrumentation and data acquisition for an electric-generating system based on kinetic water turbine. There are presented some details about overall configuration, temperature and pressure measurement as well as an advanced system for water flow investigation in different location of the assembly.
