  5. 3. Dynamic Modeling of Hydropower Generators

    Author : David Rondon; Jan-Olov Aidanpää; Rolf Gustavsson; Florian Thiery; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Maskinkonstruktion; Machine Design;

    Abstract : Modeling the dynamics of hydropower generators has been the aim pursued by many studies, as providing a reliable model would lead to more cost-effective designs. Hydropower generators comprise many parts, tilting-pad bearings, shaft, rotor rim, and stator among them, that contribute to the system's nonlinearities. READ MORE

  6. 4. Measurement and modelling of unbalanced magnetic pull in hydropower generators
