Vibration monitoring at the pumped storage power plant in Forbach/Black Forest

Hydropower is a key pillar of the energy transition. The pumped-storage power plant in Forbach/Black Forest is being further developed and expanded. The necessary construction work, particularly blasting, must not disrupt the ongoing operation of the generators. For this reason, Engineering Service Schmücker (ESS) relies on MENHIR measuring devices to monitor the impacts on the generators and pumps, some of which have been in operation for over 100 years.

Numerous MENHIR measuring devices are installed at strategic locations, and the data is processed, analyzed, and documented immediately via the SEDRIX cloud platform.

Engineering Service Schmücker has been a pioneer in this field and has successfully used the MENHIR/SEDRIX solution for many years.
