    IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 2020
    Co-Authors: Ping Zheng, Baojun Ge, Weili Li
    Abstract:

    To investigate the influence of different electric shield materials on the temperature distribution in the Turbogenerator end region, a 330-MW water-hydrogen-hydrogen-cooled Turbogenerator is considered in this paper. Mathematical and physical models of the three-dimensional (3-D) transient electromagnetic field in the Turbogenerator end region are established. The magnetic density distribution and the losses of end parts are obtained with different electric shield materials. The loss values obtained from the 3-D transient electromagnetic field calculations with different electric shield materials are applied to the end parts as heat sources. Pressure and fluid velocity values from flow network calculations are applied to the end region as boundary conditions for the fluid and thermal coupling analysis. In addition, a 3-D fluid and thermal coupling model of the Turbogenerator end region is established. The distributions of the surface heat transfer coefficient on the inner and outer surfaces of the electric shield are determined with different electric shield materials. Temperature distributions of the stator-end copper winding, finger plate, clamping plate, and electric shield in the Turbogenerator end region are investigated with different electric shield materials. The calculated temperature results for the electric shield are compared with measured values, and the calculated results agree well with the measured values.

    IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 2019
    Co-Authors: Baojun Ge, Weili Li
    Abstract:

    Press plates are widely used in the end region of Turbogenerators. However, due to the effect of magnetic field leakage from the end region, the eddy current losses of the copper screen and press plate will result in the copper screen and press plate having a high temperature under the rated load condition. In this paper, the influence of the magnetic permeability of the press plate on losses and temperature of the end region is researched in Turbogenerators. Three-dimensional (3-D) fluid and thermal mathematic and physical models of the Turbogenerator end region are established. Under different magnetic permeability values of the press plate, a 3-D transient electromagnetic field in the Turbogenerator end region is calculated, and the obtained losses of the end parts are treated as heat sources. Fluid network equations are calculated, and the obtained fluid velocity and pressure values are applied to the end region as boundary conditions. After solving the fluid and thermal equations, fluid velocity around the surface of the end parts is obtained under the rated load condition. The temperature distribution of the end parts is determined for different magnetic permeability values of the press plate. The calculated temperature results agree well with the test data.

    Abstract:

    With increased Turbogenerator capacity and electromagnetic load, overheating of the complex end parts has become one of the main problems affecting safe and stable Turbogenerator operation. In this research, a flow network was built representing the structural and ventilation characteristics of a 330-MW Turbogenerator. The fan inlet velocity and pressures (boundary conditions) of each end-region outlet were obtained by the flow network method. The 3-D transient electromagnetic field in the Turbogenerator end was calculated, and the eddy current losses (heat sources) of the end parts were obtained by the finite-element method. To study the surface heat-transfer coefficient distribution on the stator-end winding surface, fluid and thermal mathematical and geometric models of the whole Turbogenerator end region were given. Using the finite-volume method, the surface heat-transfer coefficient distribution on the complex 3-D stator-end winding surface, fluid-flow distribution, and temperature distribution of the end parts were investigated under rated-load conditions. The calculated temperature results match well with measured data. This research can provide a theoretical basis for calculating the heat-transfer coefficients of the outer surfaces of large Turbogenerators.

  • Calculation of a Complex 3-D Model of a Turbogenerator With End Region Regarding Electrical Losses, Cooling, and Heating
    IEEE Transactions on Energy Conversion, 2011
    Co-Authors: Li Weili, Guan Chunwei, Zheng Ping
    Abstract:

    A significant problem of Turbogenerators on complex end structures is overheating of local parts caused by end losses and complex fluid flow in the end region. Therefore, it is important to investigate the 3-D flow and heat transfer process in the end. Using a 200-MW air-cooled Turbogenerator as an example, the influences of end cores and the actual shapes and material of the end coils, press finger, press plate, and copper shield are considered for the end field calculation; then, the physical and mathematical models of the coil end with involute portions are created. The 3-D electromagnetic field was calculated and the losses of different parts in the end and its distribution were obtained. Based on this, the losses from magnetic field calculations will be applied to the end as heat sources in the temperature field. For symmetry of the ventilated structure, the fluid and thermal physical models of the generator within the half-axial section were determined. A set of equations of fluid flow and heat transfer were derived from the fluid-solid conjugated heat transfer and the fluid and temperature distributions were obtained after solving the equations. All of the aforementioned will provide a theoretical basis for the generator safe operation.
