GENERATOR INSPECTION AND STATOR VIBRATION REDUCTION SERVICES

Generator No. 4 at J. Strom Thurmond Powerhouse is suffering from severe core vibration. Previous attempts to reduce the core vibration levels have been unsuccessful. The unit needs to be fully repaired and returned to reliable service. The generator is rated 44,444 kVA, 0.90 power factor, three-phase, 60 Hz, 100 rpm and 13,800 volts. The generator is guaranteed for continuous operation at 115% of nameplate kVA. The generator was manufactured by General Electric Corporation and began operation in 1953. The generator is designed for star connection of the stator winding with each phase consisting of six parallel paths of 27 five turn coils. There are 486 slots in the stator core. The core is approximately 51" in height with a bore diameter of 326.5".

Technical approach will substantially reduce the vibration of the stator. This includes performing all required reviews of existing drawings and test reports, development of computer models necessary for the mechanical and electromagnetic analysis of the generator including:

Air gap flux harmonics, performing the required analysis and developing an engineering report of the simulation results.

Special field testing to determine the resonant response of the stator core to both field mmf and stator mmf excitation of vibration.

Analysis of test results and comparison with the analytical results.

Development of proposed solutions.

Preparation of a recommendations report containing the results of the work described.

The RFP provides that Factor 3 is less important than Factors 1 and 2. It may also include verification of an offeror’s price, and exchanges with the offeror to determine whether it has an acceptable understanding of the difficulties that may be encountered in performing the work described.
