Analysis Tools
Finite Element
Modern analysis tools such as finite
elements make predictions regarding
performance more accurate. Before
integrating the generator with an
engine, we calculate all the natural
frequencies of the machine in order to
avoid exciting them.
Thermal and Structural
We analyze our generator designs
to improve their ability to not run
too hot or be susceptible to natural
frequencies and resonances.
Torsional
By torsional analysis of the rotor, it
is ensured that the shaft components
perform well even under fault conditions.
Analysis Tools
Terminal Box Integrity
Through a particularly advanced
mathematical simulation we can
calculate the effects of an explosion
in a terminal box due to an electrical
fault. This allows us to optimize the
integrity of the terminal box during a
very rare fault condition.
Fluid Dynamics
By using computer fluid dynamics
programs, we can more accurately
calculate generator cooling and make
continuous improvements.
Electromagnetic Field
By using electromagnetic field analysis,
we can accurately calculate the flux
distribution in generators. This allows
us to better understand loss and
efficiency details.
