Hydro generator
Hydro generators can be divided into vertical type and horizontal type according to the axis position. Large and medium-sized units generally adopt vertical layout, while horizontal layout is usually used for small units and tubular units. Guide of vertical hydro generator Bearing The support mode can be divided into suspension type and umbrella type. Umbrella hydro generators are divided into ordinary umbrella type, semi umbrella type and full umbrella type according to the different positions of guide bearings in the upper and lower frames. Suspended hydrogenerator Its stability is better than that of umbrella type, thrust bearing Small, low loss, easy installation and maintenance, but high steel consumption. The total height of umbrella type unit is low, which can be lowered Powerhouse of hydropower station Height. Horizontal hydrogenerator It is generally used when the speed is greater than 375r/min, as well as some small capacity power plants. Hydro generator
There is no unified standard for the classification of the capacity and speed of hydro generators in the world. According to the situation in China, its capacity and speed can be roughly classified as follows:
Classified rated power Pn (kW) Rated speed Nn (r/min)
Low speed, medium speed, high speed
Micro hydro generator<100 750-1500
Small hydro generator 100-500<375 375-600 750-1500
Medium hydro generator 500-10000<375 375-600 750-1500
Large hydro generator>10000<100 100-375>375

The hydro generator consists of rotor, stator, frame thrust bearing , guide bearing, cooler, brake and other main components (see figure). Stator is mainly composed of base, iron core and winding And other components. The stator core is laminated with cold-rolled silicon steel sheets, and can be made into an integral and segmented structure according to the manufacturing and transportation conditions. The cooling mode of hydro generator is generally closed cycle air cooling. Super large capacity units tend to use water as the cooling medium for direct cooling stator For synchronous cooling of stator and rotor, double water internal cooling water turbine generator set is adopted.

Installation structure

edit
The installation structure of hydro generator is usually determined by the type of hydro turbine. There are mainly the following types:
1) Horizontal structure
Horizontal Hydro generator Usually driven by impulse turbine. Two or three bearings are usually used for horizontal water turbine units. The structure of the two bearings has short axial length, compact structure and convenient installation and adjustment. But when the critical speed of its shafting cannot meet the requirements or Bearing When the load is large, this requires a three bearing structure. Most domestic bedroom turbine generator units are small and medium-sized units. Large horizontal units with a capacity of 12.5MW are also produced. Horizontal water turbine generator units produced abroad are not rare with a capacity of 60-70MW, while horizontal water turbine generator units used in pumped storage power plants have a single unit capacity of 300MW.
2) Vertical structure
The vertical structure is widely used in domestic hydro generator units. Vertical water turbine generator units are usually driven by mixed flow or axial flow turbines. The vertical structure can be divided into suspension type and umbrella type. The generator thrust bearing located at the upper part of the rotor is collectively referred to as suspended type, and the one located at the lower part of the rotor is collectively referred to as umbrella type.
3) Tubular structure
The tubular turbine generator set is driven by the tubular turbine. Tubular turbine is a special type of axial flow turbine with fixed or adjustable runner blades. Its main feature is that the runner axis is arranged horizontally or obliquely, and is consistent with the water flow direction of the inlet pipe and outlet pipe of the turbine. Tubular hydro generators have the advantages of compact structure and light weight, and are widely used in low head power stations. [2]

development direction

It is mainly to improve the single unit capacity of hydro generators to develop into giant units. In order to improve its reliability and durability, many new technologies are adopted in the structure. For example, the stator floating structure and inclined support are used to solve the thermal expansion of the stator, and the rotor is of disc structure. To resolve Stator coil The elastic wedge shall be used to lower the cushion strip to prevent the insulation abrasion of the bar. Improve ventilation structure, reduce wind loss and end eddy current loss to further improve unit efficiency. ① along with Pump turbine With the development of manufacturing technology, the speed and capacity of generator motors are also increasing, and they are developing towards large capacity and high speed. The built storage power plants with large capacity and high speed generator motors in the world are British Dinowick Pumped Storage Power Station (330000 kVA, 500 r/min), etc. ② Double water internal cooling generator motor, stator coil The manufacturing limit of generator motor can be improved by using the direct internal cooling mode of ionic water for rotor coil and stator core. American pull Kong Shan The generator motor of pumped storage power station (425000 kVA, 300 r/min) also adopts dual water internal cooling. ③ Application of magnetic thrust bearing. With the increase of generator motor capacity and speed, the thrust load and starting torque of the unit are also increasing. After the magnetic thrust bearing is used, the thrust load, due to the magnetic attraction in the opposite direction of gravity, reduces the load of the thrust bearing, reduces the shaft surface resistance loss, reduces the bearing temperature, improves the unit efficiency, and reduces the starting resistance torque. the republic of korea The generator motor (335000 kVA, 300 r/min) of Sanglangjing Pumped Storage Power Station adopts magnetic thrust bearing.
