ANALYSIS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC VIBRATION FORCES IN THE ELEMENTS OF THE TURBOGENERATOR STATOR FASTENING TO THE CASE IN NON-NOMINAL OPERATION MODES
Purpose. The purpose of the paper is to determine the value of additional electromagnetic forces (EMF) that are created by the fluxes of scattering of the back of the turbogenerator (TG) stator core in the elements of its fastening to the case when operating in non-nominal modes according to the vibration control data. Methodology. The paper used the theory of electromagnetic fields, the method of polynomial approximation, mathematical modeling in the MathCAD-2000 professional package and the provisions of the general theory of electrical machines. Results. Analytical and numerical calculations of additional EMF values are performed, which were created by the leakage fluxes of the back of the stator core in the elements of fastening of the TG to the case when operating in non-nominal modes, which is determined by the need for night unloading of the power system. The values of these TG forces are established with a change in the output and consumption of reactive power and with a change in voltage. Originality. For the first time for TGs operating in non-nominal modes, the estimation and calculation of additional EMF in the elements of the TG core fastening to the case are carried out, which are created by the leakage fluxes of the back of the stator core and supplement the action of the basic EMF. The definition of these forces is relevant, because turbogenerators of TPPs in Ukraine with a capacity of200-300 MW are maneuvering capacities and solve the problem of maintaining the power factor of the power system. Practical value. It was found that if the TGs often operate in non-nominal modes, the wear of the stator core fastening systems to the case is more significant than in the case of their operation only in nominal modes. The obtained data will allow to more accurately determine the scope of repair work, draw up schedules for their implementation, determine the locations of the sensors for monitoring, and can be used at the design stage of new machines.

Результаты. Выполнены аналитические и численные расчеты дополнительных величин ЭМС, создаваемых потоками рассеяния спинки сердечника статора в элементах крепления ТГ к корпусу при работе в неноминальных режимах, что определяется необходимостью ночных разгрузок энергосистемы. Установлены значения этих сил ТГ при изменении выдачи и потребления реактивной мощности и при изменении напряжения. Научная новизна. Впервые для ТГ, работающих в неноминальных режимах, выполнены оценка и расчет дополнительных ЭМС в элементах крепления сердечника ТГ к корпусу, которые создаются потоками рассеяния спинки сердечника статора и дополняют действие основных ЭМС.

Практическое значение. Было установлено, что если ТГ часто работают в неноминальных режимах, износ систем крепления сердечников статора к корпусам более значителен, чем в случае их работы только в номинальных режимах. Полученные данные позволят более точно определять объемы проведения ремонтных работ, составлять графики их проведения, определять места установки датчиков контроля, могут быть использованы на этапе проектирования новых машин.

Introduction. Currently, there is a high degree of aging of the park equipment of thermal power plants (TPPs). Therefore, taking into account the national economic situation, the strategic task for Ukraine is to extend the life and increase the reliability of long-term operating turbogenerators (TGs), improve their maintenance and optimize the costs of upgrading and technical re-equipment of TPPs and nuclear power plants (NPPs).
One of the most effective solutions to these challenges is to improve the quality, implementation and development of new ones, as well as to improve existing methods for diagnosing TG, which ensure timely and complete detection of defects (including at an early stage of their development), as well as the completeness and quality of their elimination . The reliability of the TG and its physical life is largely determined by the technical state of the stator core, including the system of its
fastening to the case. Reliable execution of the fastening unit provides the necessary level of core rigidity, vibration isolation of the stator case and the foundation from vibrations caused by electromagnetic forces (EMFs) of the active zone. In turn, a reliable fastening system protects the stator core from external vibrations transmitted from the foundation through the supports and sliding bearings to the case of the TG, which is especially important in maneuvering operation modes [1, 2].
The goal of the paper is determination of the value of additional EMFs that are created by the leakage fluxes of the back of the stator core of the turbogenerator in the elements of its fastening to the case when operating in non-nominal modes according to the vibration control data.

plants, the state of the cases and cores of TG stators, which for a long time operated in non-nominal modes (at a load of 70, 50, 30 % of the nominal) on TPP units, it was found that compared to the TGs that operated only in nominal modes, the value of vibration is higher. Vibration of the stator case is monitored periodically, and vibration measurement of the fastening elements of the active steel of the stator core to the frame of the case is carried out very rare, only in cases of obvious symptoms of deterioration of their vibration state or in the unsatisfactory state of the stator steel structures (contact corrosion, damage to attachment points, etc.), i.e. already in the presence of a defect. At the same time, it is known from the operating experience that the volume and efficiency of repair work depends on the stage of defect development.
Conducting a vibration examination of the core fastening system is associated with certain difficulties, which is determined by the need to take into account the design of the hydrogen or air exhaust assemblies, the terminals of the measuring systems from the case through gas tight fingers and other elements, the presence of sensors inside the generator. But, if you install the
Stator case vibration of the TG TTB-300-:
vibration monitoring system of the case in advance, it is possible to detect defects in time, which can lead to serious damages and require expensive repairs, and in some cases a complete replacement of the generator.
Usually the vibration spectrum obtained from vibration signals taken from the case of the operating generator includes a fundamental harmonic with frequency of 100 Hz and a number of harmonic components that are multiples of the fundamental harmonic. Thus, when servicing the turbogenerators of the unit No. 4 of the Gusinoozerskaya TPP (2014), unit No. 1 of the Gomel TPP-2 (2011, 2012), unit No. 15 of the Luganskaya TPP (2014) and unit No. 3 of the Zuevskaya TPP (2013), measurements of the vibrations of the stator cases were performed. It was found that in modes other than nominal, the vibration was maximum, especially in the middle sections of the cases. Table 1 shows the data of tests of the stator case of the turbogenerator TrB-300-2y3 of the block № 3 of the Zuevskaya TPP. Fig. 1 shows the layout of the control sensors on the left side «L».
The sensors 1R - 9R on the right are arranged symmetrically.

During investigations it was also noted the weakening of pressing of the laminated packages and the more frequent destruction of the stator winding insulation of the slotted and frontal parts, the destruction of the stator core fastening system to the case [3].
To determine the reasons for the increase in vibration in non-nominal modes, we consider changes in the action of eddy currents, which are induced in the stator core and in the elements of its fastening to the case of the TG. These currents, which are induced by scattering fluxes in the elements of the system of fastening the laminated stator core to the case, and, consequently, the value of the electromagnetic forces acting on the clamp prisms of the TG, depend on the

where ji0 = 4^T0- H/m is the magnetic constant; HS is the amplitude of the tangential component of the magnetic field strength on the surface of the stator back, A/m; RS is the outer radius of the stator core back, m; t is the pole division, m; Rk is the inner radius of the stator case, m; 2p is the number of poles.
Thus, the flow displaced from the core is directly proportional to the magnetic field strength in the back of the core, which in turn depends on magnetic flux density, i.e. from the operating mode of the generator [3].
When the operating mode changes, the temperature of the active and structural parts of the stator changes, which affects their linear dimensions. The coefficient of linear expansion of steel is 0.12 - 0.15 mm per 1 °C [4]. If the temperature of the stator core is increased by 30 °C, its linear dimensions will increase only by 0.04 % of the initial value. Therefore, the thermal
u
expansion of the linear dimensions of the prisms, core packages, and the fastening system can be neglected. Also in calculations it is possible to neglect the influence of heating on the resistance of the circuits of the closure of eddy currents [5].
The permissible non-nominal modes of operation of the TG are regulated by the instruction manual and are determined from the diagram of permissible loads [5]. Therefore, we select the active power (P), reactive power (Q) and the line voltage of the stator winding (Us) to characterize the operating modes. Let us determine the analytical relationship of the indicated parameters with the value of the EMF acting on the fastening elements. The sequence of the analytical calculation of electromagnetic forces is described in detail in [2].

When calculating the values of the magnetic field strength in the back of the core and the clamp prisms, magnetic flux density in the surface layer of the active steel, the magnetization characteristics of the relevant materials are used, which are selected from the tables [5], but to solve the problem it is advisable to present them in the form of functional dependencies.
The amplitude of the magnetic field strength on the surface of the back of the stator core is related to the magnetic flux density value by a nonlinear dependence and in the range of inductions 0.6 to 1.7 T is approximated with sufficient accuracy by a polynomial of the 6th degree:

We determine the amplitude of the magnetic field strength on the upper line of the back of the stator core, then we find the values of the magnetic flux linked to the contour of the fastening elements and the back surface, and determine the electromotive forces induced by it on the prisms. When calculating the resistance of the contour of the formation of the eddy current Zk, it must be taken into account that the resistance of the prism Zp and the end package depends on the degree of saturation of the material.
However, taking into account that the resistance of the eddy current shortage contour is approximately 80 % determined by the resistance value of the fastening elements, in the further calculations the resistance of the end core packets is assumed to be constant, the effect of saturation of the active steel on the resistance value of the contour Zk is neglected.
The relative magnetic permeability of the prism material ^p also depends nonlinearly on the magnetic field strength and can be represented as:

When examining the dependence of the EMF value in different modes, we change the value of one of the parameters (P, Q, US) within the limits determined by the power diagram and a typical operating instruction, while the other two parameters do not change.
To carry out the calculations, we introduce the dimensionless quantity eN, which is the ratio of the EMF changes to the change in physical quantities (P, Q, US) in one of the non-nominal modes N: 70, 50 and 30 % of the generator load from the nominal (100 %):
SN =
(FB -FN)/Fb (Nb -NN)/Nb

where NB, Nn, Nb are the upper boundary, lower boundary and base values of the selected parameter N (P, Q or US), depending on the mode of operation of the TG; FB, FN, Fb are the upper boundary, lower boundary and base values of the EMF.
We accept changes in the values of the parameters that characterize the changes in the modes (P, Q, US):
1) PN = 0 MW, PB = Pb = 300 MW;
2) Qn = -80 MVAr, QB = Qb =186 MVAr;
3) Un = 0.95 kV, Ub = Ub = Un = 20 kV.

To verify analytically obtained results, we solve the problem also by numerical methods on the developed mathematical model using the MathCAD-2000 Professional package. We study the fastening element (prism), which has been in operation for a long time, in connection with which the metal was worked out: the dimensions of the side gaps of the prism fastening are taken to be 0.435 mm (data obtained on turbogenerator that operates on the block No. 2 of the Zmievskaya TPP, [6]).

The results of calculating the EMF induced by eddy currents in the stator core fastening elements to the case, obtained analytically and numerically for various operating modes of the TG, are given in Table 2 and in Fig. 2.
Comparison of the results of analytical calculations and the results obtained by numerical methods (Table 2, Fig. 2) allows us to conclude that the results obtained are fairly close. This confirms the reliability of the calculations performed.

Conclusions.
1. The results of analytical and numerical calculations showed that in nominal operating modes of the TG (within the load diagram), the value of the EMF acting on the stator core fastening elements varies little. However, when calculating EMF in non-nominal modes, its change is significant. Thus, for a TG with a power of 300 MW, the maximum change in EMF was observed when the reactive power was changed from the largest value (+186 MVAr) to the limiting value of the reactive power consumed (-80 MVAr), which is 13 % (based on the results of numerical calculations).
2. Quantitative characteristics of the change in EMF are obtained depending on the value of active P, reactive power Q and on the voltage of the stator US. It is established that under non-nominal operating modes of the TG, the change in the value of these forces is
practically independent on the active and reactive power: when P and Q change by 1 %, the change in EMF is only hundredths and tenths of a percent, respectively. The dependence of EMF on voltage is more significant, it is quadratic (with a change of US by 2 %, EMF increases by approximately 4 %).
3. When operating the TG in non-nominal modes, the wear of the TG stator core fastening system to the case is more significant than when operating in nominal modes. This should be taken into account when installing sensors for monitoring the status of the TG in on-line mode, when drawing up schedules for carrying out repairs and determining their volumes.
