Any generator component that can fail or be dislodged—including rotor fan blades (Figure 7), balance weights, slot wedges (Figure 8), bolts, and pantleg washers—should be inspected regularly.

Offshore wind turbine technology experienced a brief gust in October as Siemens Energy began field testing of its new 154-meter (m) rotor for the 6-MW offshore wind turbine, and Norwegian ...

The company supplies these components to numerous turbine and generator manufacturers. Large rotor shafts for high-output power plants contribute to the world’s power generation needs.

Thirty years ago, alloy non-magnetic 18Mn-5Cr type retaining rings were the norm for generator rotors. But those rings have been known to fail, with devastating results.

The rotor of the first turbine at the expanded Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant project was successfully installed on the morning of ...

The mechanically sensitive HTS cables in the generator rotor must resist a centrifugal acceleration of 5,000 times that due to the ... The project will study cryostat concepts, thermal insulation, and ...

The wound‐rotor synchronous starter/generator (WRSSG) system has evolved as a critical component in high‐performance electrical drives, particularly in aeronautical applications where ...
