Turbogenerators

Air Cooled
Turbogenerators
Air-cooled turbogenerators provide a modern, highly compact solution for:
base and peak load operation
daily startup and shutdown
easy low cost maintenance
A range of models offering high efficiency, excellent quality
and optimum reliability are available to meet turbine requirements. The reduced impact of auxiliary systems simplifies
unit management and cuts the cost of spare parts.
Design features and manufacture
Ansaldo Energia air cooled generator technology is continuously upgraded and enhanced by dedicated R&D work
and new design tools, including finite element 3D analysis of
mechanical, electrical and fluid behavior.
Turbogenerators have indirectly cooled stator windings and
directly cooled rotor windings and are self-ventilated in a closed circuit with air to water coolers.
Special make-up or active-carbon filters can be provided if
needed (e.g. air contamination).

The core is cooled by air passing through radial ducts


between lamination packets.
The self-supporting stator core is assembled and welded
to the lower part of the housing in such a way as to permit
thermal expansion and core vibration without transmission
to the foundation. The stator has a two-layer transposed

Rotor
The rotor body is machined from a single alloy steel forging
with excellent magnetic and mechanical properties. Forgings are purchased only from qualified suppliers and comprehensively inspected by sampling and ultrasonic testing.
The rotor winding consists of hollow rectangular conductors
made of hard-drawn copper alloyed with silver to increase
strength at operating temperature. The rotor winding can
expand uniformly lengthwise to ensure smooth running and
minimum sensitivity to rapid load changes. All the insulation
materials used in the rotor comply with class F specifications.
The rotor surface is protected against circulating currents
caused by unbalanced loads through special high conductivity wedges and short circuit rings under retaining rings.
The retaining rings hold the rotor end winding in place.
Diagnostics
The rotor is supported by two bearings with white metal
Ansaldo Energia introduced diagnostics for air cooled turbobushes carried in bearing pedestals.
generators in order to monitor the units Life Parameters.
Ansaldo Energia turbogenerators have a dedicated sensor
package complete with various instruments to collect data,
depending on customer requirements, e.g. on line, continuous, connected to distributed control system (DCS), remotable.
