This paper presents a numerical investigation on the local hydraulic cavitation phenomena of water resulting from the rotor with high rotational speed in the hydraulic cavitation heat generator. The numerical simulation utilizes the standard k-epsilon turbulence model, the mixture multiphase model and the Schnerr-Sauer cavitation model to simulate the complex cavitation phenomena in the generator. For exploring the efficient shape of the dimples on the rotor to causing cavitation phenomena artificially, the pressure distributions and the volume fractions of the vapor on the rotor are investigated respectively about different shapes of the rotor in the generator. The optimum shape of the dimple to causing cavitation phenomena in the selected shapes is obtained by the means of the numerical simulation.

This paper deals with analytical approach for rotor loss prediction of permanent magnet synchronous generator(PMSG). The rotor losses of synchronous generator are induced by the magnets. Since stator of our model is skewed, slotting effect can be negligible for our PM wind turbine generator. In order to calculate eddy current, this paper derives analytical solutions by the magnetic vector potential. Finally this paper compared analytical result with eddy current density obtained from finite element(FE) calculations using phase current harmonics analysis.

A method is presented for the vibration analysis of steam turbine-generator rotor system based on the component mode synthesis method. The motion of each component of the system is described by superposing constraint mode associated with boundary coordinates and constrained normal modes associated with internal coordinates. This method using real fixed-interface modes allows for significant reduction in system model size while retaining the essential dynamic characteristics of the lower modes. The capability of this method is demonstrated in the natural frequency and unbalance response analysis of the steam turbine-generator rotor system in which the dynamics of the pedestal is considered. The results by the present method are compared with finite element method and trnasfer matrix method in terms of the accuracy and computing time.

This paper deals with a wound-field synchronous machines(WFSM), with an electromagnet on its salient rotor, as an alternative to a permanent magnet in the rotor. We then examine the power performance characteristics, loss characteristics, V-curves and large short-circuit ratios for a large-scale synchronous generator, considering the leading and lagging operations, based on the finite-element method. We predict the performance of a 100MVA-class generator based on the operating range for a constant short-circuit ratio. At the last, We compared with the electromagnetic characteristics of three model according to number of slots.

This paper deals with the study on the rotordynamic and experimental analysis of turbine-generator system connected with a magnetic coupling. Although magnetic coupling has been used to torque transmission of chemical processing pump rotating at under 3,600rpm, magnetic coupling in this study is applied to high-speed turbine-generator system using a working fluid that is refrigerant such as ammonia or R-124a. Results of rotordynamic design analysis are as follows. The first, shaft diameter nearest to outer hub of magnetic coupling has a big effect on the $1^{st}$ critical speed of generator rotor. The second, if the $1^{st}$ critical speeds of turbine rotor and generator rotor have enough to separation margin in comparison to rated speed, the $1^{st}$ critical speed of turbine-magnetic coupling-generator rotor train has enough to separation margin regardless of connection stiffness of magnetic coupling. The analytical FE model is guaranteed by impact test on the prototype and condition monitoring such as measurements of vibration and bearing temperature is also performed.

Several off-line diagnostic tests which include the insulation resistance(IR), polarization index(PI), low-voltage AC, and recurrent surge oscillograph(RSO) tests were performed to assess the condition of generator rotor windings. The low-voltage AC and the RSO tests were performed on the gas turbine generator rotor winding to detect shorted turns. Before intentionally applying artificial shorted faults, it was confirmed by the low voltage AC and the RSO tests that the winding was in sound condition. For simulated shorted rotor winding turns, the RSO test detected the fault in the winding. The RSO test was capable of identifying the number and pole location of the shorted turns for a number of simulated shorted coils.

A lot of rotating machinery are generally used in industrial field and the electrical machinery such as the motor and generator account for the most of the part. Generally motor and generator have electrical loss because of eddy current. So silicon steel sheets are used in order to reduce the electrical loss and furthermore laminated rotor is used for motor and generator to eliminate the electrical loss and heat generation. However, the more high speed, large scale and high precision of the system, the more important to estimate the critical speed. In this paper verifies the variation of the critical speeds in accordance with the variation of the pressing force of lamination plate for the rotor which is supported by ball bearing with the experimental data as well.

This paper describes a method for the detection of shorted-turn in the cylindrical synchronous generator rotor windings based on the discrete wavelet transform. Multi-resolution analysis(MRA) based on discrete wavelet transform provides a set of decomposed signals in independent frequency bands. In the proposed method, shorted-turn detection in rotor windings is based on the decomposition of the rotor currents, where wavelet coefficients of these signals have been extracted. Comparing these extracted coefficients is used for diagnosing the healthy machine from faulty machine. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method for shorted-turn detection in the cylindrical synchronous generator rotor windings.

Rotating machines are widely used in industrial world and especially motor and generator take up much part of it. As for this kind of motor and generator, electrical loss due to eddy current is the very important factor and that is also a primary factor causes heat generation. To solve this kind of problem like the above. insulated laminating silicon steel sheet is used to prevent eddy current effect. Laminated rotor is widely used as rotating shaft of motor and generator. Due to that, electrical loss and heat problem can be solved but designer meets another problem. In general. most of the motor and generator can be normally operated under 3,600 rpm because they are designed to have the first critical speed more than that speed. But nowadays, they should be operated more than the first critical speed as usual with the trend of high speed, large scale and high precision in industrial world. The critical speed can be determined from the inertia and stillness for the rotor and bearing of rotating systems. The laminated rotor stiffness can be hardly determined because it can be derived a lot factors for instance rotor material and shape, lamination material and shape, insulation material. lamination force and so on. In this paper, the change of the natural frequency of the motor was examined with the change of the lamination force as an experimental method and design criteria will be presented for motor & generator designer, who can apply the result of numerical analysis with equivalent diameter scheme with ease.

In wind power generating system connected in power grid the value of stator flux has almost constant because the stator side of wound rotor induction generator is connected to power grid. Using the stator and rotor current it is possible to achieve control of generating power in stator side. This means that we can control the power factor by decoupled rotor current in synchronously rotating reference frame. To verify the theoretical analysis results of computer simulation and experiment are presented to support the discussion.
