Abstract:
The vibration of the stator end is the main reason that restricts the long term stable operation of the turbine generator. Wearing of the bar insulation caused by vibration can lead to a serious short-circuit accident. The finite element modeling of dynamic characteristics of stator end winding fixed structure was studied for a 300 MW 60 Hz novel turbine generator. Through the analysis of bar, pressure plate, bracket, spring plate, core and the mutual connection between them, the finite element modeling method for different types of structural components and heterogeneous element fusion method were studied. Based on the beam element, shell element and solid element, a high accuracy modal calculating model was established to analyze the dynamic characteristics of the stator end winding. The modal experiments under different temperatures were carried out by the manufacturer to verify the feasibility of the modeling method and the validity of the model. The result shows that the model presented in this paper have less computational scale and higher calculation accuracy, which can be used as a reference for the optimization design of new products.
