Growing global requirements for higher power plant performance are shaping the design and manufacture of today’s generators. Industry demands for higher reliability, efficiency and cost-effective ...

Dual stator-winding induction generators represent a significant evolution in generator design, incorporating two independent stator windings to enhance operational flexibility and performance. By ...

Thermal efficiency, defined as the motor's power output for a given temperature rise, is an important factor in brushless motor performance. A more thermally efficient motor not only wastes less input ...

Louisville, CO, October 7, 2013 — Boulder Wind Power (BWP) announced today that the latest test results of its patented printed circuit board (PCB) stator technology prove a clear advantage in ...

Mechanical Dynamics & Analysis performed a 7FH2 Partial Re-Stack of the core step iron & Full Stator Rewind on a GE® 7FH2 generator. Several 7FH2 units have experienced failures of the core step iron, ...

The generator stator has been hoisted into place at the ACP100 small modular reactor demonstration project at the Changjiang site on China's island province of Hainan, China National Nuclear ...

After a near 50 year lifespan, Barron Gorge’s hydro generator insulation systems needed to be rewound and upgraded. The Queensland, Australia based power station has been operating in a World Heritage ...

To meet the demand for drive motors / generators needed for hybrid vehicles, engineers at Remy International Inc. designed a line of off-the-shelf devices that are said to have the highest ...

Mechanical Dynamics & Analysis (MD&A) has completed another successful generator rewind as part of life extensions programs on a gas turbine fleet in the northwest US. This project featured a unique ...

Today, most electric machines operate with radial flux (RF). Magnax offers a new concept, though—a machine that operates with axial flux (AF). Figure 1 provides a comparison of the RF and AF ...

Engineering efforts to simulate radial-flux machines concentrate on inherently 2D problems. Most of the 2D FEA software is good for "quick-and-easy" solutions demanded by shorter design schedules.
