Reverse engineering methodology as a way of steam turbine blades designing for Loviisa Nuclear Power

Abstract

This article concerns a reverse engineering-based design process of last stage blade (LSB) for other original equipment manufacturer (oOEM). For Loviisa Power Plant (Finland) GE designed and delivered a set of oOEM LSBs to be fit into existing low pressure (LP) turbine module steam path. Although cost competitiveness is a one of major selection criterion for steam turbine spare parts components supplier, diversification of suppliers is also a strategic for power plant owner. Considered here is a process of reengineering of oOEM LSB and all relevant challenges related to this process especially management of geometry deviations between reverse-engineered and oOEM blade. In this article, there are a design steps described taken to qualify reverse-engineered design. Moreover, a manufacturing process of the LSB is shown.
