Rl. Stoll, SIMPLE COMPUTATIONAL MODEL FOR CALCULATING THE UNBALANCED MAGNETIC PULL ON A 2-POLE TURBOGENERATOR ROTOR DUE TO ECCENTRICITY, IEE proceedings. Electric power applications, 144(4), 1997, pp. 263-270
A model of a two-pole turbogenerator airgap region is developed in suf
ficient detail to predict the unbalanced magnetic pull on the rotor, u
nder no-load conditions, caused by static eccentricity. The effects of
rotor magnetic saturation and eddy currents are taken into account us
ing a set of rotor surface impedances. The computer program is relativ
ely simple and extremely fast in computation time on a modest PC.
