Torsional interaction between electrical network phenomena and turbine-generator shaft cause torsional stress on turbine-generator shaft and torsional fatigue fracture on vulnerable component, but the prediction of the torsional stress is difficult because the torsional stress is occurred instantly and randomly. Therefore continuous monitoring of the torsional stress on turbine-generator shaft is necessary to predict the torsional fatigue, but installing the sensors on the surface of the shaft directly to monitor the stress is impossible practically. In this study torsional vibration was measured using magnetic sensor at a point of turbine-generator rotor kit, the torsional stress of whole train of rotor kit was calculated using rotor kit's stress model and the calculated results were verified in comparison with the measured results using strain gauge at several point of turbine-generator rotor kit. It is expected that these experiment results will be used effectively to calculate the torsional stress of whole train of turbine-generator rotor in power plants.

This paper deals with the impact of an inverter station on the torsional dynamics of turbine-generator which is located at the inverter side of a HVDC-AC network power system. The studies show that the torsional stress of turbine-generator depends on the AC network fault locations because of the commutation failures of inverter station. And the torsional stress induce fatigue in the shaft material and reduce the shaft life-time. So, the purpose of this paper is to analysis the torsional stress of turbine-generator shaft at inverter side, to find the checked points of turbine-generator. The EMTDC program is used for the simulation studies.

This paper deals with the effect of exciter parameters on the torsional stress of turbine-generator. The excitation system effects on the AC network stability and the turbine-generator stress. However. it, until now, have not reported that any parameter among exciter parameters is related to the stability and the stress. In order to verify those CIGRE HVDC model was used. Since the AC network with HVDC has the voltage stability problem due to big capacitor, the worst condition to analyze the stress can considered. The EMTDC program is used for the simulation studies.

It is well known that line switching operations like reclosing are able to cause transient power oscillations which can stress or damage turbine generators. This paper presents a reclosing scheme to reduce the shaft torsional torques of turbine generators by inserting an additional reactor. A novel method to determine optimal reactor capacity to minimize the torsional torque generated in a turbine generator is also proposed. In this paper, the turbine generator shaft is represented by a multi-mass model to measure torsional torques generated in the shaft between the turbine and the generator. Transmission systems based on actual data from Korea are modeled to verify the proposed scheme using ElectroMagnetic Transient Program (EMTP) software. The simulation results clearly show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme and torsional torque can be minimized by applying the proposed scheme.

Recently, turbine-generators have been replaced for the integrity reinforcement and the efficiency improvement, also, the blade's failures of LP turbines due to torsional vibration have been reported. Excessive torsional vibrations can result in failures of components. The severity of torsional oscillations and stress depends upon the separation margin between the excitation frequencies and torsional natural frequencies. Therefore it is needed to measure the torsional natural frequencies after replacement of the components to conform the separation margin of torsional natural frequencies. In this study torsional vibration measurements were performed after LP turbine and generator replacement and the torsional natural frequencies for the turbine-generator train were calculated to evaluate the effects of generator replacement on torsional natural frequencies of turbine-generator train. It is expected that these evaluation results will be used effectively to identify the root causes of torsional vibration problems.

The authors designed a high temperature superconductor (HTS) racetrack coil for a 10 MW class superconducting synchronous wind turbine generator. The designed HTS racetrack coil was analyzed by an electromagnetic finite element method (FEM) to determine the magnetic field distribution, inductance, stress, etc. This paper describes the stress analysis and structure design result of the HTS racetrack coil for 10 MW class superconducting synchronous wind turbine generators, considering orthotropic material properties, a large magnetic field, and the resulting Lorentz force effect. Insulated HTS racetrack coils and no-insulation HTS racetrack coils were also considered. According to the results of the stress analysis, the no-insulation HTS racetrack coil results were better than the insulated HTS racetrack coil results.

The generator for gas turbine power generation consists of the rotor which generates magnetic field, the winding coil which is the path for the field current and the wedge and retaining ring which prevents the radial movement of the coil. Relatively severe deformation was observed at the coil end section during the inspection of the generator for peaking-load operation, and the thermal-electricity and the centrifugal force were evaluated by the simple modeling of the windings to find the cause. But the simulation stress was not sufficient to induce the coil plastic deformation. The analysis result seems to be applicable to the base-load generators which runs continuously without shut down up to a year, but there had been more deformation than simulated for the generator which is started up and shut down frequently. The cause of the coil deformation was the restriction of the expansion and shrinkage. The restriction occurs when the winding coil shrinks, and the stress overwhelms the yield stress and cause the plastic deformation. The deformation is accumulated during the start-ups and shut-downs and the thermal growth occurs. The factors which induce the coil restriction during the expansion and shrinkage should be reduced to prevent the unallowable deformation. The resolutions are cutting off the field current earlier during the generator shut-down, modifying the coil end section to remove the stress concentration and making the insulation plate inserted between the coil end section and the retaining ring have the constant thickness.

This study focuses on an advanced second-order sliding mode control strategy for a variable speed wind turbine based on a permanent magnet synchronous generator to maximize wind power extraction while simultaneously reducing the mechanical stress effect. The control design based on a modified version of the super-twisting algorithm with variable gains can be applied to the cascaded system scheme comprising the current control loop and speed control loop. The proposed control inheriting the well-known robustness of the sliding technique successfully deals with the problems of essential nonlinearity of wind turbine systems, the effects of disturbance regarding variation on the parameters, and the random nature of wind speed. In addition, the advantages of the adaptive gains and the smoothness of the control action strongly reduce the chatter signals of wind turbine systems. Finally, with comparison with the traditional super-twisting algorithm, the performance of the system is verified through simulation results under wind speed turbulence and parameter variations.

원자력 발전소의 터빈-발전기 시스템과 같이 일정한 토크와 함께 축 진동에 의한 가변 응력이 인가되는 부재의 경우 비틀림 응력에 의한 피로 파괴 거동을 보인다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 터빈-발전기의 터빈 축에 인가하는 비틀림 응력을 측정하고 응력에 의해 발생하는 피로 파괴 거동을 분석하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위해 터빈-발전기 시스템과 같은 실험 장치를 제작하고 임의의 부하를 인가하여 다양한 비틀림 응력에 대한 피로 파괴 거동을 평가하였다. 특히 기존의 알려진 피로 거동 평가 방법인 응력-수명, 변형률-수명, 균열성장 평가 방법을 동시에 적용하여 평가를 진행하였다. 부하의 크기가 증가하면서 평가 방법과 무관하게 피로 수명이 감소하는 경향이 확인하였으며 5 kV 부하 인가 시 최대 10배의 피로 수명의 감소가 발생하였다.
