— In this article, the finite-element method is used to study the impact on a generator's electromagnetic torque by the position and level of a rotor winding interturn short circuit. The rules involving changes to the exciting current and the reactive power of generators are analyzed under the given adjustment patterns. The results of this study show that the saturability of ferromagnetic materials reduces the torque undulations that occur during the rotor winding interturn short circuit fault and that it improves the static stability of generators. Both the simulation experiment and the real case of a rotor winding interturn short circuit demonstrated that when a rotor winding interturn short circuit happens in a turbine generator, the generator can maintain its static stability by adjusting its state variables. This results in an increased exciting current and a decreased reactive power. The analytical method described herein allows accurate prediction of the change limits of the exciting curren...

In some important industrial applications, motor bus transfer often takes place in order to guarantee the reliability and stability of the power supply. However, in the adverse condition, the stator transient currents of motor are very considerable during bus transfer. A thyristor-based control method, which can suppress the stator inrush currents, is presented for the motor soft transfer between sources. Under the implementation of the method, the phase-sequence of the stator windings connected to power source would be BC-ABC-AB-ABC-CA-ABC-. In order to study the complicated transition process between two-phase and three-phase connection, an analytical method is employed in this paper since it is more rapid and efficient than the numerical simulation when the rotor speed is nearly invariant. Then, a group of consistent mathematic models based on space vector is proposed for the alternative transient, especially for three different asymmetrical transient of motor with two-phase connection. Thereafter, the analytical method is detailed for the asymmetrical transient. The results of analytical calculation for two cases are shown and compared with field test and numerical simulation respectively. And the accordance of results verifies the validity and effectiveness of the proposed analytical method and transient models.

Relationships between shaft voltages and static eccentricities are studied, theoretical analysis shows that shaft voltages are induced by the ‘distorted fluxes’ caused by static eccentricities, shaft voltages mainly contain odd harmonics, the harmonic amplitudes increase under greater eccentricities. Some new distorted flux hamonics appear when field windings interturn short circuit happens, the harmonic frequencies change with the generator pole-pair number, and amplitudes increase when the fault get worse. The following experimental work agrees with the theoretical predictions.

The characteristics of generator stator and rotor radial vibration and the characteristics of stator winding parallel branches circulating current on the air-gap eccentric fault are respectively analyzed. Three types of air-gap eccentric faults are studied, such as static eccentric, dynamic eccentric, and mixed eccentric composed by the previous two. Considering the differences in the stator and rotor vibration characteristics and circulating current characteristics caused by the faults, a compositive diagnosis method of air-gap eccentric fault based on the characteristics of vibration and circulating current is proposed. Finally, the data of a SDF-9 type generator on the fault condition are measured in the laboratory to verify the theoretical analysis presented above.

Firstly, the magnetic motive force distribution of the steam turbine generator excitation windings was analyzed, and the mathematic model of MMF was established. Then the change of MMF caused by rotor inter-turn short circuit was examined, and the MMF after inter-turn short circuit happens as the superposition of the normal MMF before inter-turn short circuit happens and the MMF produced by short circuit turns with opposite excitation current. As the former is completely symmetrical, only the opposite MMF produced by short turns was analyzed, and harmonic components with various orders were gained by Fourier analysis. The electromotive force induced in stator windings was got considering the air-gap eccentricity, and the theoretical deduction illustrate that the eccentricity has no influence on the induced electromotive force of the stator windings. The three-phase symmetrical currents of the stator produced a new revolving magnetic motive force, and induced harmonics in rotor windings, whose characteristic spectrum differs from that in normal conditions. The theory was validated by experiments at last and the method that employs harmonics detection to diagnose the inter-turn short circuit malfunction of the steam turbine generator was established.

A direct type multilevel current source inverter (CSI) and its closed-loop strategy are studied in this paper. In the three phase static symmetric axes (a, b, c), parameters on the AC side of the three phase five-level CSI are time-variant AC variables, which is a difficult point in the designing of control system. So a direct current control method based on the synchronous rotational axes (d, q, 0) is proposed. This strategy transforms AC variables in the three-phase static symmetric axes into direct values in the synchronous rotational axes (d, q, 0), so the problem of controlling the AC variables is transformed into adjusting the direct values. This control strategy has little influence over changes of system parameter, it suit well with linear system and nonlinear system. Simulations are carried out with software PSIM to confirm feasibility of the proposed control method.

The characteristics of the stator winding parallel-connected branches circulating current are first analyzed, which is the second harmonics circulating current will increase when the rotor winding inter-turn short circuit fault occurs, and the size and the distribution of circulating current are associated with severity of the short circuit.

Finally the virtual instrument is successfully applied to SDF-9 fault simulation generator.

The locomotive battery requests its testing system special requirements of excellent DC charge/discharge current which is sensitive to the fluctuation of the voltage. It also needs a fast transfer speed between charge and discharge state. Simple converters without appropriate filter can't meet the requirement mentioned above. The decay of the Chebyshev filter increases fast with frequency in the stop-band. As a low-pass filter, it avoids the influence to DC component when filtering low order harmonics. It is very benefit in filter design for bidirectional converters. But the traditional theory for filter-order design is based on the decay of not only stop-band but also pass-band, and the latter is not important in DC filter design. This paper extracts an equation of filter-order design for bidirectional converters which care more on the decay in stop band and introduced a method for enhance the response speed between bidirectional transitions. The theoretical deduction and simulation proved the practicability of the methods.

Surge arrester is an important over voltage protection equipment in substation, and the latent faults of MOA can be found by on-line resistive leakage current monitoring.

The generator excitation current harmonics characteristic is analyzed when stator winding or rotor winding inter-turn short circuit fault has happened respectively. Armature reaction magnetic field synchronously rotates with rotor when generator operates normally, and rotor winding won't induce additional harmonic current. But it non-synchronously rotates with rotor when the fault has happened, so additional harmonic current is induced in rotor winding. Next, through analyzing electromagnetism characteristic on stator and rotor winding fault respectively, excitation current harmonics characteristics can be obtained, it is known that the additional excitation current harmonic on stator winding fault mainly is twice electrical frequency, and that on rotor winding fault is the function of air-gap excitation magnetic field harmonic frequency, poles' pairs of generator and rotor mechanical revolution. Finally, the excitation current of a type MJF-30-6 generator is measured in the laboratory to verify the theoretical analysis presented above

As the structure of generator is complex, and the saturated magnetic field is nonlinear, it is difficult to use generator's mathematic model to calculate field current directly, and then hard to use the deduced method to identify rotor interturn short-circuit fault, the computation time is long, and the computation precision is not good, so it is difficult to diagnose online. We proposed a new Radial Basis Function Network (RBFN) in this paper, it is two levels iteration clustering algorithm. This method overcomes the shortcomings that other algorithm have, it can compute the nerve unit number, center and width of RBSN implication layer automatically, and the clustering result is more reasonable, consequently increase the precision of RBSN. In condition of not adding any equipment, using actual measured inactive power, active power and terminal voltage etc. electric parameters of QFSN-300-2 generator as input, and in virtue of self-adaptive RBSN to identify generator field current, combining rotor inter-turn short-circuit fault diagnosis model to identify rotor inter-turn short-circuit fault online, it is faster than simply use generator mathematic model, and has high precision. After certification, the result is: comparing to the traditional diagnosis model, it increases the diagnosis precision and speed greatly, and satisfies the need of online identification.

Next, the electric characteristic is analyzed, which is that the second harmonics circulating current between the stator winding parallel branches will increase when the fault occurs. Synthetically considering the vibration and circulating current characteristics, a method of the rotor winding inter-turn short circuit fault diagnosis, based on compositive characteristics of generator vibration and stator current, is developed. Finally, the vibration and circulating current of a type SDF-9 generator is measured in the laboratory to verify the theoretical analysis presented above.

And the methods to eliminate interphase influence is analyzed.

Based on the multiloop model presented previously, the transient simulation of stator winding inter-turn short circuit fault (SWITSCF) in induction motors, as well as the relevant experiments, has been completed. By thoroughly analyzing the simulation results under a variety of conditions, this paper draws a conclusion that stator negative sequence apparent impedance is the most reliable fault feature with satisfactory sensitivity for the SWITSCF detection. Meanwhile, the experiment results clearly indicate that, for an actual motor operating on site, stator negative sequence apparent impedance is fluctuating with time to a certain extent, as would deteriorate the detection reliability/sensitivity. As a result, the low-pass-filtered stator negative sequence apparent impedance is chosen as the fault feature to reliably and sensitively detect SWITSCF in induction motors. The experiment results demonstrate that this technique is valid and effective for the SWITSCF detection.

The stator winding inter-turn short and rotor bar breaking are both frequent faults in squirrel cage induction motors. The previous work is inclined to detect one single fault, in other words, to detect the stator winding inter-turn short circuit or rotor bar breaking fault, separately.
