A Simple Pattern Recognition Approach for Monitoring Incipient Stator Faults in Salient-pole Synchronous Generators

چکیده
This paper studies the effect of incipient stator faults in salient-pole synchronous generators and its detection using a simple pattern recognition methodology. A theoretical linear model for the synchronous generator is first developed to provide the relationships between stator and rotor harmonic currents and possible incipient faults on stator electric circuits. All theoretical findings were verified by experimental results. The stator currents and its αβ and dq representations have been used to detect incipient faults on salient-pole synchronous generators using a similar pattern recognition technique which have been proposed for induction machines. From our test results, it became clear that the proposed methodology is capable of correctly monitoring incipient stator faults in salient-pole synchronous generators.

متن کاملInter-turn Fault Analysis of Synchronous Generator using Finite Element Method (FEM)
A turn fault in the stator winding of a generator causes a large circulating current to flow in the shorted turns. If left undetected, turn faults can propagate, leading to phaseground or phase-phase faults. Incipient detection of turn’s faults is essential to avoid hazardous operating conditions and reduce down time. At present the synchronous generators are protected against almost all kind o...

متن کاملA Simple Analytic Method to Model and Detect Non-Uniform Air-Gaps in Synchronous Generators
The air-gap of electrical machines may become non-uniform due to low accuracy of the manufacturing machinery, in assembling processes, or by aging. Detection and monitoring of this phenomenon is very important and of interest. There are several methods to model non-uniform air-gaps and to detect them by monitoring systems. One of the most widely used methods is by the analysis of the line curre...
