Turbo generator system need starter for gas turbine engine. Turbo generator has high rate gearbox for reduce rotating speed. Because a conventional generator could not operate same speed of gas turbine engine. But Recently turbo generator system is directly connected a gas turbine engine with a super high-speed generator. In this paper, starter driver are implemented direct coupled turbo generator system, Which is directly connected 100kW, 60,000rpm gas turbine engine and 25kW 60,000rpm super high speed generator.

This paper presents results of the development of the turbo generator system with structure which is HSG(High Speed Generator) installed directly to gas-turbine engine. Turbo generator with a high speed motor-generator directly has many advantages aspects of weight, size, lubrication system and complexity of the system compared of conventional turbo generator system with a gear box. But because of direct high speed operation of the high speed generator, we have to need stable high speed motor driving algorithm for perfect engine ignition when engine start. Also we have to need the design of the Power conditioning unit(PCU) for converting high speed AC output power to conventional AC power or needed DC power.

This paper presents the result of a study on the starter control for a turbo generator. Because a starter in gear box type turbo-generator system is composed of gearbox and brush DC motor, it should be replaced with High Speed Generator(HSG)) in HSG type Turbo-generator. There-ore, it is necessary to design a new starting algorithm and starter. In gearbox type system, brush DC motor is rotated to the designed speed using low voltage-high current battery power. After brush DC motor speed is increased to several times by gearbox, gas turbine engine can be rotated to designed starting speed. If we implement a starter with High Speed Generator(HSG), it is necessary to drive high-speed generator to high-speed motor. High-speed generator with permanent magnet on rotor has a low leakage inductance fur driving high-speed rotation, and it is necessary high DC link voltage for inverter when High-speed generator is driven to high speed. This paper presents result of development of the boost converter for converting high voltage DC from low battery voltage and design of the inverter for controlling a high frequency current to be injected to motor winding. Also, we show performance of the designed starter by driving the turbo generator.

The starter of the turbo generator is composed of a high speed generator(HSG), an inverter and a boost converter instead of a gearbox, a DC motor and a low-voltage battery in the starter of the turbo shaft generation system. Because turbo generator is needed a high speed motoring at start-up, high speed generator has a low leakage inductance and inverter need a high DC link voltage. In this study, for developing the stater of a turbo generator, a boost converter with a high capacity was developed to convert high voltage from a low battery voltage. And for controlling a high frequency current to be injected to a motor winding with a low leakage inductance, the inverter with a high precision and a high speed operation was designed and for a stable ignition, the starting algorithm of a turbo generator was proposed. Turbo generator was started by the starter developed to verify the performances.

This paper focuses on monitoring and predicting the short circuit faults of the rotor windings of large turbo-generator systems. For the purpose of increasing efficiency and decreasing maintenance cost, a method that combines the HHT (Hilbert Huang Transform) with a wavelet has been studied. This method is based on analyzing a classical Albright detecting coil. Due to the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and the Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMF) of the HHT the exact location of a short circuit of rotor windings may be given. However, a part of the useful information is eliminated by the unreasonable decomposing scale of the wavelet. Based on the thermodynamics modeling method, this study was illustrated with a 50MW turbo-generator system that is installed in Northern China. The analysis results, which have very good agreement with those of a previous study, show that the method of combining the HHT with a wavelet is an effective way to analyze and predict the short circuit faults of the rotor windings of large generators, such as supercritical turbo-generator systems and wind turbo-generator systems. This work can offer a useful reference for analyzing smart grids by improving the power quality of a distribution network that is supplied by a turbo-generator system.

This paper presented to design the power system stabilizer(PSS) for a turbo-generator system using LQG/LTR control synthesis for improving small-signal stability. Application study of LGG/LTR control synthesis is more appropriate in this system since a turbo-generator system is usually operated under circumstance of unmeasurable uncertainties and external disturbance. The LQG/LTR control theory was briefly reviewed for good understanding and the reasonable design approach. The design results are simulated for a case study and to check the system performance in comparison with currently operating lead-lag filtered PSS performance.

A Sub-kWe small-scale experimental test loop was manufactured to investigate characteristics of the supercritical carbon dioxide power cycle. A high-speed turbo-generator was also designed and manufactured. The designed rotational speed of this turbo-generator was 200,000 rpm. Because of the low expansion ratio through the turbine and low mass flowrate, the rotational speed of the turbo-generator was high. Therefore, it was difficult to select the rotating parts and design the turbine wheel, axial force balance and rotor dynamics in the lab-scale experimental test loop. Using only one channel of the nozzle, the partial admission method was adapted to reduce the rotational speed of the rotor. This was the world's first approach to the supercritical carbon dioxide turbo-generator. A cold-run test using nitrogen gas under an atmospheric condition was conducted to observe the effect of the partial admission nozzle on the rotor dynamics. The vibration level of the rotor was obtained using a gap sensor, and the results showed that the effect of the partial admission nozzle on the rotor dynamics was allowable.

Recently, Turbo code has been considered for channel coding in IMT-2000(International Mobile Telecommunication-2000) system, because it offers better error correcting capability than the traditional convolution/viterbi coding .
