Diagnostyka on-line uszkodzeń rdzenia i uzwojenia stojana duśego turbogeneratora

The paper presents an original – worked out by the authors - way of on-line detecting the damages of a large turbogenerator core and stator winding. The distillate temperature measured at the outlet from the stator winding coils is a diagnostic signal. It was shown, using the stator thermal model developed, that the considered turbogenerator damages cause a measurable increase in the distillate temperature in some outlet boxes. The proposed way of prevention diagnostics enables determination of the kind and location of a damage as well as the preliminary estimation of its size. It allows elimination of wide damages of turbogenerators. The exemplary calculations were carried out for a 230 MW turbogenerator which is very common in the Polish power system.
