Innovation of the Cooling System of Rotating Electrical Machines using CFD Methods
Sikora, Michal ; Ondrůšek, Čestmír (referee) ; Kotrba,, Vít (referee) ; Sháněl, Martin (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Ctirad (advisor)
This thesis deal with design and implementation of innovative cooling method, intended primarily for medium-power synchronous generators. The main objective of this proposal is to remove the large heat exchanger connected to generator. This heat exchanger unduly increases the space requirements for the machine location. The proposed solution is to use a direct water-cooled stator. It is assumed that the rotor winding will be still cooled by air. Unlike current cooling system, the hot air from the rotor can be cooled in smaller cooler inside the generator. In this work are described methods which can be used for design of water cooling basic parameters, taking required temperatures into account. A small induction motor was selected for practical verification of the proposed cooling concept. This motor was modified into two variants - related to the old cooling of synchronous generators and related to the proposed solution. Both of these variants were measured and compared with each other. Subsequently, CFD models of these two variants were set up. Measured temperatures were used for debugging of models and identification of material properties of components of these machines. The final model of water-cooled variant also makes it possible to simulate the work of motor for higher performance and to determine the overload compared with the old cooling variant. Some knowledge and experience obtained from the small water-cooled induction machine were used in the design of water-cooling for large synchronous generator. In a similar way, CFD models of the old variant of cooling and proposed variant of water- cooling were created. Although these models were not verified by actual measurements on the generators, the results indicated that the application of water-cooling in this type of machine is appropriate and provides many benefits.

Complex Analysis of Modal Properties of Rotating Electrical Machines
Donát, Martin ; Vlach, Radek (referee) ; Žiaran,, Stanislav (referee) ; Dušek, Daniel (advisor)
This dissertation thesis deals with the computational modelling of the dynamic response of the rotating electrical machine structure on the application of the magnetic forces. Apart from the dynamic response of the ideal symmetrical machine, the influence of the air gap eccentricity on the dynamics response is studied in this work. A basic type of the air gap eccentricity, which is caused by eccentric mounting of the rotor pack on the shaft of the rotor, is considered. The calculations the dependence of the magnetic forces on the time and a misalignment of the rotor pack are performed as first. The computational model of the magnetic field of the rotating electrical machine, which is based on solution of the electromagnetic coupled field analysis by finite element method, is used for this purpose. An analysis of the influence of the unbalanced magnetic pull and the stiffness of some parts of the machine on the modal properties of the machine is performed in the second part of this thesis. A third part of this thesis is focused on the calculation of the dynamic response of the machine during the steady state operation of the machine and the influence of the rotor pack misalignment on the dynamic response is studied. The obtained results showed that the tangential components of the magnetic forces, which act on the stator pack, excite significant torsional vibration of the stator. Besides the vibration of the stator of the machine, the influence of the rotor pack misalignment on the sound power of the machine, vibration of the rotor, loads of rotor bearings and air gap eccentricity is studied in this thesis.

Design of computational algorithm of electric machine rotor with respect to stress-strain relationships and critical speed
Pařízek, Daniel ; Lošák, Petr (referee) ; Vlach, Radek (advisor)
The Master's thesis deals with the mechanical design of electric machine rotor. Within the first two chapters of the practical part of the thesis two simplified computational models of the rotor (level 1 models) are compiled. Specifically, the model of flexible rotor mounted on rigid supports and model of rigid rotor mounted on flexible supports. The essence of these computational models lies in solvability using simple equations. Using these models can save time when constructing a pre-design of the rotor geometry. The following chapter is devoted to comparing different approaches to computational modeling of rotor using FEM. A predetermined preliminary design of a high-speed massive rotor is investigated. Computational models of different levels at stress-strain analysis and modal analysis are presented. It also includes a suggestion on how to proceed effectively in a given analysis.
