Including: Hydrogen, Stator Cooling Water, Generator Seal Oil, and Iso-Phase Bus & Duct Systems
Enabling Objectives
STATE the function of the Main Generator. LIST the three requirements for an electrical generator. STATE the purpose of the four major components of the Main Generator.
Function of Generator
Converts the mechanical energy of the turbine into usable electrical energy
Picture of Generator
Generator
Three phase, 4 pole AC generator Frame pressurized with hydrogen gas for cooling and low windage losses Stator windings cooled with circulating demineralized water Full load rating of 1504.8 MVA (1354 MW at .9 pf, 1203.84 MW at .8 pf)
Magnetic field strength is controlled by the rotor field current fed by the voltage regulator
provides for voltage control - MVars
Main Generator
Generator Details
Enclosure Housing: Contains within its boundary the Rotor, Stator, and Hydrogen Cooler. The Enclosure Housing is pressurized with hydrogen gas which is used as the cooling medium for the rotor and stator windings.
Generator Details
Stator : stationary winding through which electric current is induced by the rotating field windings Function - collect the induced current and provide a circuit path to the output of the generator (output bushings) Stator is cooled by Stator Cooling Water
Stator Bar
Picture of Rotor
Generator Details
Stator Core - securely holds stator windings Stator End-Turns - provides winding connections for a continuous circuit Hydrogen Blower - circulates cooling hydrogen Hydrogen Cooler - heat exchanger for hydrogen gas supplied by OLACW
Generator Details
Bearings : supports shaft and bears load of the generator weight and torque Bushings : provides gas-tight electrical terminal for connection of output power to isolated-phase bus
Function of Exciter
Controls generator output voltage by varying the current to the generator rotating field windings
Exciter
Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG) supplies AC power to the Voltage Regulator Voltage Regulator supplies DC field current to the Exciter Exciter output is rectified and sent to the Rotor through leads in the shaft

Exciter Diagram
Exciter Details
Self powered from attached Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG) PMG consists of 24 permanent magnets located on the end of the exciter shaft. Produces : 120vac at 420hz
PMG also supplies power to the EH Governor Cab. and Turbine Supervisory Panels
Exciter Details
Power from PMG is rectified to DC, regulated by the voltage regulator, and applied to the exciter stationary field. Larger AC power is produced in the exciter rotating windings and is rectified to DC by diodes mounted on the shaft The DC is sent down the internal of the shaft to the attached rotor field
Exciter Details
Exciter Housing cooled by internal air circulation which includes a heat exchanger cooled by CLACW Contains automatic rotor ground detection system, which provides for manual or automatic (once per 24hr) operation Exciter bearing ungrounded to prevent circulating currents in the shaft which will attack the bearing seating surfaces
Picture of Exciter
Exciter Details
The output of the exciter is controlled by the Voltage Regulator
This controls the field current which controls the output voltage of the generator
Generator Protection
Generator trips protect the Generator and Main Turbine in the event of a fault condition within the 25KV system Protection is provided by coordination of:
Voltage Regulator Trips / Protective Actions Field Breaker Trips Generator Output Breaker Trips
Main Generator
Heat exchangers cooled by CLACW Incorporates expansion tank which is maintained with hydrogen pressure (2 psig) for corrosion control
Disconnect Links
Stranded flexible connectors that make connection between the generator and the isolated phase bus
