Leading Innovative Technology.

The 4-pole generator incorporates innovative Siemens technologies such as MICALASTIC®, optimized rotor dynamics, ventilation system simulation capability, and has a proven modular design that can be adjusted to fit existing founda-tions as well as gear boxes. The mechani-cal structure has a long operating life even under extreme operating conditions.

Product description  The brushless synchronous generator has a compact design with low overall dimensions and weight. Benefiting from Siemens’ extensive industry know-how, flexible engineering and 3D CAD systems, the generator is based on a modular design concept that shortens delivery times and enables reduced vibration out-put. The generator has a cylindrical rotor and welded housing. The short circuit current can be maintained for a sufficient amount of time until the short circuit protection is activated. Low lifecycle costs, long maintenance intervals, high reliability and long service life set Siemens apart from its competitors.

Housing and Stator Core The stator core is built into a rugged welded housing. It is axially compressed and held together on the back of the core by clamping elements. The stator core consists of high-grade electric sheet steel laminations that are insulated from each other by a varnish coat. The three-phase winding and the auxiliary winding used to supply the excitation current (if PMG is not required) are accommodated in the slots in the stator core. Thanks to the excellent winding insulation (MICALASTIC®), the generators are also suitable for applications with extremely high humidity.

Patented and Proven MICALASTIC®  Insulation System MICALASTIC® is a proven mica-based Siemens insulation system for high-rating high voltage and low voltage generators and motors. The vacuum pressure impreg- nation (VPI) method is an important com-ponent that has been incorporated in the overall insulation design. This insulation system is characterized by its extraordi-narily high mechanical strength, dielec-tric strength, and thermal endurance as well as durability against contamination, dirt, moisture and aggressive atmo-spheres which ensures a long winding lifetime even in the toughest conditions.

RotorThe rotor design is based on a laminated cylindrical rotor core pressed onto the forged shaft with a cylindrical shaft end for the coupling hub. The rotor winding is a flat-wire compact winding inserted into the rotor slots. The coils are secured by slot wedges in the active components and by bandages on the overhang ele-ments. Copper damper bars are pressed into the core for smooth operation and resistance against load changes. In addi-tion to the field and damper winding the rotor is equipped with a shaft driven fan, the exciter rotor and a rotating rectifier block.

Damper Winding Each rotor is equipped with a generously dimensioned damper winding for smooth parallel operations and effective damping in the case of unbalanced loads. Damper copper bars and pressure plates on both sides of the rotor core are welded together to create a damper cage. This damper cage ensures that the generator has effective damping for transient oscillations that can occur during parallel operation with large load changes (load switch on / off).

BearingsThe generator rotor is secured by two sleeve bearings, allowing easy inspection and maintenance without having to dis-mantle the machine. Either radial bear-ings or single-thrust bearings are used depending on application requirements. Bearings are forced lubricated. One of the bearings is insulated to prevent a shaft current and to protect the bearing housings.

8

Cooler The turbogenerators can be delivered with IC01 cooling systems, which use the surrounding air from the local environ-ment extended with ducts for remote cooling air or closed machines equipped with heat exchangers mounted on top. In the case of water cooling, the cooling elements are located on top of the machine. A redundant cooler element is optional. The air to air exchanger is also mounted on the top of the machine. The cooling air in the outer circuit is blown into the exchanger by electric fans.

Excitation System  The excitation system consists of auxil-iary windings or a PMG, automatic volt-age regulator (AVR), CTs and VTs for current and voltage sensing, a built-in exciter and rotating rectifier. Standard equipped turbogenerators include digital AVR, enabling power factor (PF) regula-tion and a large number of options for monitoring and protec¬tion (excitation limiters, overvoltage detection, possibil-ity of redundancy etc.)

The DC excitation current from the AVR is amplified by the rotating exciter and then rectified by the rotating rectifier. The rotating rectifier consists of diodes and surge protectors.

Monitoring and Accessories The stator winding is monitored by temperature detectors embedded in the winding. Standard equipment for monitoring of bearings includes double temperature detectors and oil-flow meters for sleeve bearings. The air inlet is also monitored by a double sensor. The generator is equipped with an anti-condensation heater to prevent surface moisture under certain climatic condi-tions. The heater is designed to keep the active elements of the machine warmer than the ambient temperature. The generator can optionally be equipped with CTs for metering or differential pro-tection. Vibration sensors for bearings and shaft are also available.

Engineering & Design The engineering design is available in a 3D environment. The entire product can be visualized including the accuracy level and connections between motor parts, enabling continuous improvement and optimization. The rotating and static parts are FE modeled to assure stiffness. The excitation from surrounding ele-ments is also included in the complete analysis. Special attention is given to reduce vibration and noise issues. The complete design is modular, assuring the synchronization of the main parts, reduc-ing delivery times and the lead time for the complete product. Although the main parts make up the standard design, the interface connection and ventilation unit are customizable.

Quality Turbogenerators, like all other products supplied by Siemens, conform to high quality standards. In addition to ISO 9001 certification, all materials comply with general standards (EN, IEC, ISO etc) as well as with Siemens standards which are even more stringent in many ways.

Applications Turbogenerators are suitable for use in turbines with speeds of 1500 or 1800 rpm. The design can be adapted for steam or gas turbines, for open founda-tions or container solutions, for land or classified generators on ships or off-shore platforms including all relevant aspects of operation (environmental, declination for ship or offshore, etc.). The connection to the turbine, foundation as well as the cable connection and auxiliaries can be optimally adapted to match the setup of the complete system.

The biggest container ships in the world, 8 APM Maersk L203-210, have one steam turbine driven generator on board (10.625 MVA, 60 Hz, 1800 rpm, 6.6 kV, ABS classification) as part of the waste heat recover (WHR) system.
