Influence of Extension Length of Rotor End Windings on the Three-Dimensional Electromagnetic Field and Temperature Rise in the Large Turbine Generator End Zone With Magnetic Screen

Leakage magnetic field from the rotor end windings affects obviously the electromagnetic losses and temperature of end components in the turbine generator end zone with magnetic screen. As the capacity of turbine generator increases, this effect of rotor end windings has become more prominent. To investigate influence of the extension length of rotor end windings on the electromagnetic and thermal fields in the turbine generator end zone with magnetic screen, three-dimensional transient electromagnetic field model of 1250 MW turbine generator end zone is given. Leakage magnetic field and losses of end components are compared and studied in the end zone under the different extension lengths of rotor end windings. Based on the calculation results of electromagnetic losses (heat sources) and flow network (boundary conditions), three-dimensional fluid-thermal coupling field is calculated in the turbine generator end zone with magnetic screen. Distribution of complex fluid velocity in the end zone is obtained. Influence of the different extension lengths of rotor end windings on the stator-end copper coil, screen plate, finger plate, press plate, magnetic screen, and stator end core is researched in the turbine generator end zone. The accuracy of calculation results is validated by experimental values.
