Your IEEE PES West Coast Chapter is hosting the next local utility users group meeting on Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at the Tampa Electric Big Bend Power Station where TECO will present their work on Generator projects that restore the capabilities of the existing generators. Tampa Electric Engineers will present information on past projects preformed at various stations to recover the performance of existing generators and auxiliary systems. This meeting will also cover a current project at Big Bend Station where a 35 year old, 495MVA, hydrogen and water cooled generator is being modernized. The stator is being rewound, the excitation control system is being replaced, and the generator protection system is being updated to modern available technology. Additionally, we will present information on other generator projects that have been completed in the past few years. The meeting will conclude with a plant tour covering aspects of the current project underway at the station for those that are interested.

We will discuss topics such as stator winding replacement, water clip design, core loss testing methods, retaining ring issues, rotor coil replacement, brush and brushless exciter reconditioning methods, excitation control system improvements, and generator protection relay improvements to protect the investment in the generator.
