Determination of Stator Temperature Distribution for a Synchronous Machine

Abstract:

For studying the influence of the stator ventilation structure on the thermal performance of a synchronous machine, the mathematical model of the stator three-dimensional temperature fields is set up and the corresponding equations solved. The calculated results of the stator temperature are compared between different number of the radial ventilation ducts, which provides a theory foundation for the analysis and design of the cooling system and improves the safe operation condition of large synchronous machine.
