Historically, generator inspections require rotor removal (Figure 1). There’s a significant level of risk during this process due to possible generator damage during the disassembly, and it also ...

Wind turbines are growing bigger and bigger -- the diameter of their rotor blades could soon reach 180 meters. But that creates a need for larger test rigs capable of accommodating the blades for load ...

“Our repair team at the Birmingham Service Centre was able to remain flexible and we were able to deal with every aspect of the rotor repair, managing the project from concept to completion on behalf ...

Mechanical Dynamics and Analysis (MD&A) was contracted after a forced outage to perform a major overhaul on a cogeneration unit’s MS5001PA gas turbine, and to remove, test and inspect the generator ...

Japan Steel Works (JSW) is one of the largest manufacturers of power generation equipment parts, including rotor shafts for turbines and retaining rings that fasten the coils of generators. The ...

The firm joined forces with the MaREI Centre at the National University of Ireland, Galway (NUI Galway), through German engineering partner SCHOTTEL Hydro, to test its new ‘ultra-durable’ turbine ...

A direct current is applied to the rotor winding of a synchronous generator to produce the rotor magnetic field. A prime mover causes the generator rotor to rotate the magnetic field in the machine. A ...
