Steam turbine work on the international stage can have its challenges, but also its successes. Mechanical Dynamics & Analysis (MD&A) was contracted to inspect, analyze, and then straighten a Toshiba® ...

Insufficient power grid support for wind turbines has become evident as wind energy use rises, particularly with bigger turbines. This paper introduces a modeling approach for a dual-rotor machine.

The main components of the turbine plant of Akkuyu unit 1 - including the stator, turbine generator rotor and low-pressure cylinder - have been delivered to the construction site in Turkey. The ...

Southern California Edison’s (SCE) 2,250-MWe San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) recently took receipt of a new and upgraded generator rotor for one of its two Alstom steam turbine generator ...

Gas turbine engines of tanks, which are land-based derivatives of aero-turboshaft engines, share core gas generator rotor structures but face significantly higher external impact loads due to combat ...

Wind turbine rotor blades are a high-technology product that must be produced at moderate cost for the resulting energy to be competitive in price. This means that the basic materials must provide a ...

The urgency stems from a confluence of factors that have compressed the window for action. The 7FA fleet, which was deployed en masse during what industry veterans call “the bubble,” is now reaching ...

Download this article in PDF format. Wind turbines larger than 6 MW are becoming common, particularly for offshore installations, where consolidating several smaller wind turbines into one large ...

Today, most electric machines operate with radial flux (RF). Magnax offers a new concept, though—a machine that operates with axial flux (AF). Figure 1 provides a comparison of the RF and AF ...
