Mechanical Dynamics & Analysis has analyzed and resolved generator stator bar abrasion events that have become common on some newer GE® Frame 7F and 324, 330, or 390 generators. The damage can cause ground faults leading to forced outages and complete stator rewinds. A principal cause of the abrasion is traceable to side ripple spring-induced […]

Hermiston Generating Plant For Hermiston Generating Plant in Oregon, Mechanical Dynamics & Analysis (MD&A) completed a complex, multiple-component combined-cycle major inspection and overhaul project that successfully brought both turbines and both generators back to full and reliable operations. The 474 MW combined-cycle plant was depending on the complete and efficient renewal of its Unit 2 […]
Read MoreMD&A recently performed a Stator Replacement, removing the old stator off the foundation and replacing it with a brand new Stator. The generator stator traveled by large vessel overseas, then by railcar to the site. In addition, the project included a full test and inspection on field, where MD&A experts rewound, applied a blocking modification, […]

In the power generation industry, most large generators are cooled by hydrogen gas. Hydrogen has excellent thermal conductivity properties, but it is also explosive and flammable when mixed even in small amounts with ordinary air. If a unit will be offline for a while, for example, for a planned maintenance outage, the hydrogen must be […]
