GENERATOR VIBRATION FAULT DIAGNOSIS METHOD BASED ON ROTOR VIBRATION AND STATOR WINDING PARALLEL BRANCHES CIRCULATING CURRENT CHARACTERISTICS

Rotor vibration characteristics are first analyzed, which are that the rotor vibration of fundamental frequency will increase due to rotor winding inter-turn short circuit fault, air-gap dynamic eccentricity fault, or imbalance fault, and the vibration of the second frequency will increase when the air-gap static eccentricity fault occurs. Next, the characteristics of the stator winding parallel branches circulating current are analyzed, which are that the second harmonics circulating current will increase when the rotor winding inter-turn short circuit fault occurs, and the fundamental circulating current will increase when the air-gap eccentricity fault occurs, neither being strongly affected by the imbalance fault. Considering the differences of the rotor vibration and circulating current characteristics caused by different rotor faults, a method of generator vibration fault diagnosis, based on rotor vibration and circulating current characteristics, is developed. Finally, the rotor vibration and circulating current of a type SDF-9 generator is measured in the laboratory to verify the theoretical analysis presented above.

A Diagnosis Method of Vibration Fault of a Steam Turbine Based on Information Entropy and Grey Correlation Analysis

The vibration fault, one of the common faults in the steam turbine generator unit, brings great damage to the production and the running process. It is well known that the information entropy is to describe the degree of indeterminacy of the system, so the information entropy can be used to measure Despite its efficiency, one kind of information entropy is just enabled to identify make up for this limitation, based on nalysis was studied for vibration fault the vibration condition of the unit. certain part of the faults. In order to the faulty signals collected from the rotor test platform, the grey correlation adiagnosis of steam turbine shafting in this paper. The reference faulty matrix and the calculation model of grey correlation degree was established based on three kinds of information entropy. The analysis shows that grey correlation analysis is a useful method for fault diagnosis of shafting and can be used as a quantitative index for fault diagnosis.

Static-deformation based fault diagnosis for damping spring of large vibrating screen

Based on the statics theory, a novel and feasible twice-suspended-mass method(TSMM) was proposed to deal with the seldom-studied issue of fault diagnosis for damping springs of large vibrating screen(LVS). With the static balance characteristic of the screen body/surface as well as the deformation compatibility relation of springs considered, static model of the screen surface under a certain load was established to calculate compression deformation of each spring. Accuracy of the model was validated by both an experiment based on the suspended mass method and the properties of the 3D deformation space in a numerical simulation. Furthermore, by adopting the Taylor formula and the control variate method, quantitative relationship between the change of damping spring deformation and the change of spring stiffness, defined as the deformation sensitive coefficient(DSC), was derived mathematically, from which principle of the TSMM for spring fault diagnosis is clarified. In the end, an experiment was carried out and results show that the TSMM is applicable for diagnosing the fault of single spring in a LVS.

FAULT CAUSED BY WATER PRESSURE IN THE HEAD-COVER CHAMBER

Owing to the high temperature of the thrust beating pads, the No.l unit wasn＇t performed in the upgrading test at Liujiaxia Hydropower Plant. Through the experimental and theoretical analysis, it has been confirmed that the fault unit was caused by the high water pressure in the head-cover chamber. This type of the fault is out-of-the-way. After the suitable measure wags against the fault were taken, the No. 1 unit can stably operate. The conclusions and the methodology are of the certain reference value to the fault-diagnosis of the hydroelectric unit.
