Partial Discharges In Hydroelectric Generators

Effective implementation of predictive maintenance programs in power plants requires the online condition monitoring of electrical generators. This book offers a comprehensive guide on the measurement, detection, and interpretation of partial discharges in hydroelectric generators. It covers a range of essential topics such as the physics of partial discharge phenomenon, various types of defects and partial discharge patterns, sensors and acquisition procedures, signal processing techniques, automatic classification of discharge types, and correlation between partial discharge occurrence and ozone generation. Numerical modelling of partial discharges and calculation of the associated radiating electromagnetic fields are also discussed. To aid understanding, the book provides theoretical explanations, practical examples, and functional Python code on Google’s Colaboratory platform. This book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deep understanding of partial discharges in hydroelectric generators. Presents in-depth theory with examples; Provides experimental data illustrating effects of PD in machine components; Includes functional Python and C code examples.

This book offers an analytical overview of established electric generation processes, along with the present status & improvements for meeting the strains of reconstruction. These old methods are hydro-electric, thermal & nuclear power production. The book covers climatic constraints; their affects and how they are shaping thermal production. The book also covers the main renewable energy sources, wind and PV cells and the hybrids arising out of these. It covers distributed generation which already has a large presence is now being joined by wind & PV energies. It covers their accommodation in the present system. It introduces energy stores for electricity; when they burst upon the scene in full strength are expected to revolutionize electricity production. In all the subjects covered, there are references to power marketing & how it is shaping production. There will also be a reference chapter on how the power market works.

Small Hydroelectric Engineering Practice is a comprehensive reference book covering all aspects of identifying, building, and operating hydroelectric schemes between 500 kW and 50 MW. In this range of outputs there are many options for all aspects of the scheme and it is very important that the best options are chosen.As small hydroelectric schemes

A single comprehensive resource for the design, application, testing, and maintenance of rotating machines Filling a long-standing gap in the field, Electrical Insulation for Rotating Machines covers, in one useful volume, all aspects of the design, deterioration, testing, and repair of the electrical insulation used in motors and generators. Lucidly written by leading experts, this authoritative reference provides both historical background important to understanding machine insulation design and the most up-to-date information on new machines and how to select insulation systems for them. Coverage includes such key topics as: Types of rotating machines, windings, and rotor and stator winding construction Evaluating insulation materials and systems Stator winding and rotor winding insulation systems in current use Failure mechanisms and repair Testing and monitoring Maintenance strategies Detailing over 30 different rotor and stator winding failure processes and reviewing almost 25 different tests and monitors used to assess winding insulation condition, Electrical Insulation for Rotating Machines will help machine users avoid unnecessary machine failures, reduce maintenance costs, and inspire greater confidence in the design of future machines.
