Abstract: In the field of hydropower generation, the surface of hydraulic turbine suffers abrasive damage when run in sediment-laden flows, which gravely affects the operating efficiency of hydraulic turbine unit. Establishing a system to realize on-line monitoring for sediment concentration is of great significance for scheduling of hydropower station. In this paper, a turbidity sensor is designed according to the specific sediment characteristics of Yingxiuwan hydropower station, based on which a sediment concentration on-line monitoring system was built and applied in Yingxiuwan hydropower station. Application results indicate that the system has a good operation stability and high reliability. In addition, it can reflect the changes of the water-sediment environment and provide important basis for scientific operation, which has strong utility value and significance of generalization.
