Abstract:

A reliable and accurate diagnosis of inter-turn short circuit faults is a challenging problem in the area of fault diagnosis of electrical machines. The purpose of this challenge is to be more efficient in fault detection and to provide a reliable method with low-cost sensors and simple numerical algorithms which not only detect the occurrence of the fault, but also locate its position in the winding. Hence, this paper presents a novel method for diagnosis of different kinds of inter-turn winding faults in a salient-pole synchronous generator using the change in the magnetic flux linkage. It describes the influence of inter-turn winding faults on the magnetic flux linkage distribution of the generator. The main feature of the proposed method is its capability to identify the faulty coils under two types of inter-turn winding faults. Also, simple algorithm, low cost sensor and sensitivity are the other feature in the proposed technique. In this method, generator air gap flux linkage is measured via search coils sensor installed under the stator wedges. Theoretical approach based on Finite Element Method (FEM) together with experimental results derived from a 4-pole, 380U, 1500 rpm, 50 Hz, 50 KVA, 3-phase salient-pole synchronous generator confirm the validity of the proposed method.

Mixed Eccentricity Fault Diagnosis in Salient-pole Synchronous Generator Using Modified Winding Function Method

In this paper, winding function method (WFM), applied to a faulted synchronous generator, is modified and is used for online diagnosis of mixed eccentricity fault. For the first time, the static and mixed eccentricities are modeled in synchronous generators. A modified winding function (MWF) method introduced here is more precise compared with previous methods. This MWF enables to compute the a...

Stator Turn-to-turn Fault Detection of Synchronous Generator Using Total Harmonic Distortion (thd) Analyzing of Magnetic Flux Linkage

Diagnostics of synchronous generator turn-to-turn faults can be accomplished by analyzing the anomalies of machine local variable such as magnetic flux linkage. On the other hand, because current transformers and voltage transformers are usually installed in the machine for different purposes as default, the monitoring schemes that depend on the study of these inputs have become a topic of inte...

Mixed Resistive Unbalance and Winding Inter-Turn Faults Model of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors

This work analyzes the behavior of surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motors (SPMSMs) operating under stator faults. The studied faults are resistive unbalance and winding inter-turn short circuits, which may lead to unbalanced conditions of the motor. Both faults may reduce motor efficiency and performance and produce premature ageing. This work develops an analytical model of the mo...
