By reducing the likelihood of damage and breakdown, vibration condition monitoring (VCM) improves the operation of hydro-generating equipment (HGE) and extends its lifespan. The theoretical and experimental exploitation is involved in the VCM execution and system diagnosis of an HPS. Numerous investigations have contributed to our understanding of the vibration failure mechanism and early stages of HPS breakdowns. This study reviews vibration monitoring and correction (VCM) of electrical and mechanical equipment used in the HPS and provides a short description of vibration related issues based on about three decades of historical publications. The requirements for vibration measurements and the causes of vibrations on HPS's rotating and non-rotating equipment have been covered. There is also discussion on VCM's future prospectus.
