Analysis and calculation of electromagnetic force of stator winding and damping bar during dynamic loading of pumped storage generator/motor

Abstract

Frequently and rapidly dynamic conversion is one of the main differences between pumped‐storage motor and general hydro‐generator. In the process of changing operating conditions, in order to achieve fast dynamic conversion, the loading rate requirement of pumped storage motors is often much higher than that of conventional generators, which brings great impact on the key structural components of generators, it affects the safe operating life of motors directly. To solve the impact of dynamic loading rate on key structural components of pumped storage motors, for a pumped storage motor as an example, investigating different loading rates during the dynamic conversion of two main operating conditions on pumped storage motors (power generation and electric power) of pumped storage motors are investigated. Calculating accurately the distribution laws of electromagnetic forces of key structural components which contains stator tooth walls and damping strips during dynamic loading. The results show that the different loading rates will affect the force distribution of the key position directly, under the condition of generator state and motor state, the distribution of force on stator winding and damping bar present different laws, it will provide reference for the determination of multi‐state conversion loading rate of pumped storage motor and the improvement of pumped storage motor structure scheme.
