The electromagnetic modelling of existing large hydro generator is the main focus of this paper. Electromagnetic commercial software was used where all geometrical parameters of the generator are taking into account such as: pole face geometry, air gap size, the slots geometry and pattern winding sequence. The approach used to model the machine and some simulation results are presented in this paper. The analysis of a 122.6 MVA, 60 poles, 13.8 kV generator is presented as a case study on how advanced electromagnetic numerical field simulations are employed to evaluate generator parameters and performances.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
