Uprating Technology

Advanced high performance insulation

The latest main insulation for stator winding is improved with lower thermal resistance and more efficient heat-transferring characteristics. On the indirectly cooling type generator, stator winding cooling performance to be improved using the latest main insulation.

Key Technology

  • Lower thermal resistance in main insulation
  • Improvement of heat-transferring characteristics in main insulation

Improved cooling ventilation

The ventilation resistance on rotor cooling path to be reduced by the optimization of duct entrance shape. Cooling performance for rotor to be improved by reducing ventilation resistance and increasing ventilation flow rate of the cooling gas.

Key Technology

  • Optimization of duct shape at entrance part

Efficiency Improvement Technology

High performance fan

Mechanical loss to be reduced by fan shape optimization and installation of guide plate.

Key Technology

  • Optimization of fan shape
  • Installation of guide plate

Non-magnetic partition plate

Stray loss to be reduced using the Nonmagnetic partition plate.

Key Technology

  • Application of nonmagnetic material for partition plate

Low loss bearing

Mechanical loss to be reduced using the direct lubrication 2 pad journal bearings.

Key Technology

  • Application of direct lubrication 2pad journal bearings
