IEC 61362-2012. Guide to specification of hydraulic turbine governing systems. Edition 2.0 2012-04. 133 p.
International Standard IEC 61362 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 4: Hydraulic turbines.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1998. It is a technical revision. It takes into account the experience with the guide during the last decade as well as the progress in the state of the art of the underlying technologies.While a standard for the testing of hydraulic turbine governing systems had been existing for a very long time (IEC 60308 published in 1970), a guide for the specification of hydraulic turbine governing systems was missing until 1998. The need for such a guide became more and more urgent with the fast development and the new possibilities especially of the digital components of the governor.
The current second edition of the guide takes into account the experience with the guide during the last decade as well as the progress in the state of the art of the underlying technologies. While the first edition was written more or less as a supplement to the already existing guide for testing, the objective of the second edition is to be the leading guide with respect to turbine governing systems.
