Introduction
The last version of IEC 60045-1 Steam Turbines Part 1: Specifications was published in:1991: In daily practice, this standard is widely used in steam turbines:
With the rapid development of steam turbine technology in the past 30 years, higher-level steam turbines have been widely recognized:
With the widespread application of steam turbines in the fields of machinery, renewable energy and those requiring more flexible operation capabilities, the relevant technologies are more advanced and mature:
In 2020, IEC 60045-1:2020 Steam Turbine Part 1: Specification was officially released: This standard added product safety content and the integration of content on regulation, control, instrumentation and protection in the first version paves the way for the digitalization of power plants:
GB/T 5578-2007 Specification for Steam Turbines for Stationary Power Generation was revised to adopt IEC 60045-1:1991, which has been issued and implemented for more than ten years:
With the release of the latest version of IEC 60045-1, it is necessary to revise and improve GB/T 5578 to eliminate the technical differences between the current version and the existing technology:
In order to constantly adapt to new changes in the field of steam turbines at home and abroad, and better promote trade, exchanges and technical cooperation:
Specification for steam turbines for stationary power generation
