Detection of shorted-turns in the field winding of turbine-generator rotors using novelty detectors-development and field test

A method for detecting shorted windings in operational turbine-generators is described. The method is based on the traveling wave method described by El-Sharkawi, et. al. (1971). The method is extended in this paper to operational rotors by the application of a neural network feature extraction and novelty detection. The results of successful laboratory experiments are also reported.
