Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation involves mechanically assembling, adjusting, and test-operating turbine generators used in thermal, hydroelectric, nuclear, and other power plants based on drawings.
Description
Turbine generator assembly workers specialize in assembling generators used in power plants and manufacturing factories. They read drawings, assemble major components such as rotors, stators, and bearings using methods like welding and bolting, and adjust shaft perpendicularity and parallelism using torque wrenches and laser alignment devices. They also perform static and dynamic balancing, conduct test operations, perform output inspections, and finish the units to meet specified performance standards. Work often involves operating cranes and using hand tools, ensuring precision and safety through team collaboration.
Future Outlook
With ongoing energy demand and the introduction of renewable energy, there will be continuous demand for maintenance and renewal of power plants. As technology succession becomes a challenge, demand for highly specialized personnel is expected to remain stable.
