• Peaks and valleys in output from renewable generation are compensated for by load variation in conventionalpower plants
• More load variation means increased MVAR cycling, more starts/stops, prolonged stand-by• Longevity of generator components is affected.

Air Cooled Replacement GeneratorTypical auxiliary systems in a generator with Hydrogen / Water cooling
• Hydrogen gas systemProvides cooling medium (H2) inside the generator
• Seal oil systemKeeps the hydrogen gas inside stator frame
• Gas inertization systemRequired for de-gassing generator during stand-stills
• Stator winding cooling water system (> 200MW)Provides cooling medium (Water) for direct cooling ofstator winding
With the FootprintTM Generator these auxiliary systems are not required and can be eliminatedsaving life cycle costs

Air Cooled Replacement GeneratorOverview of design features
The use of different cooling zones in the activepart of the generator yields a more uniformtemperature profile.
Mechanically decoupled stator endwinding system with maximum rigidity towithstand transient system faults andmaximum flexibility for thermal expansion.
The maintenance-free stator core is flexibly mounted to the outer casingwith flex plates. This prevents vibrations at double rotational frequency fromimpacting the outer casing and thus the foundation tabletop.
Cooler cover with 4x25% drop in verticalcoolers, site installed for easy shipment of thecore generator and easy maintenance
.
The radially direct cooled stator core provides maximumheat transfer capability for the stator winding with minimumflow resistance for the overall cooling circuit.
Improved enclosure design makes theseair-cooled turbogenerators suitable foroutdoor installation, allows sound pressurelevels down to 85db(A) and provides easyaccess to all relevant components
The assembled winding is using the provenMICALASTIC® insulation system with globalvacuum-pressure impregnation technologyproviding maximum electrical endurance.

§ The Micalastic® is used in Siemens generators for more than 50 years.
§ In addition Siemens introduced the Global Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (GVPI) Technology in1988.
§ Since then Siemens has manufactured more than 1000 generators (air-, hydrogen- andhydrogen/water cooled) using GVPI technology in conjunction with the Micalastic insulation systemwith voltage levels up to 22 kV and rating up to 550 MVA.
§ Operational experience of these units without any stator insulation based failures since the beginningsin 1988 demonstrates the superior quality of GVPI technology.

Summary
The two J-Leads which connect the radial leads to the rotorwinding can suffer fatigue- induced cracking.
In order to avoid any forced outages and potential consequentialdamage resulting from such cracking, Siemens has developedimproved J-Lead assemblies as part of its ongoing productdevelopment process and in order to increase reliability.
Siemens recommends that the old type of J-Lead be replacedwith these improved J-Lead assemblies.
Please ask your Siemens representative or check on our servicecustomer portal if this product bulletin applies to a generator youhave in operation.

Summary
The rotor tooth tops underneath the retaining rings are subject tocracking. In order to prevent the initiation of cracks and to reducethe impact of any existing cracks a “short ring modification” hasbeen developed by Siemens and it is recommended that thismeasure be implemented in order to increase reliability.
This modification also encompasses machining of the shrink fit ofthe retaining ring, the rotor tooth tops and the retaining ring itself.In order to perform this modification it is necessary to removeboth retaining rings and remove the rotor from the stator.
Please ask your Siemens representative or check on our servicecustomer portal if this product bulletin applies to a generator youhave in operation.

Summary
A periodic inspection of 18Mn-18Cr1 retaining rings and a qualified Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) procedure are recommended on allgenerator rotors. This inspection is intended to evaluate the structuralintegrity of non-magnetic retaining rings and zone rings. Siemens mayrecommend replacement of retaining rings in cases of inspection findings orexceptional operating conditions.
Cases that might be considered “exceptional conditions” include:
• Stress corrosion cracking due to chemical conditions that should not bethe normal operating environment of large electrical generators. Theseinclude long-term exposure to saturated sodium chloride solution andexposure to bromine under electrical fault conditions.
• Grid interaction with the generator (such as disturbances from electric arcfurnaces), which can result in rotor torsional oscillations.
• Loss-of-control events, such as out-of phase synchronization, suddenshort circuit, motorization and similar severe abnormal operation.
Please ask your Siemens representative or check on our service customerportal if this product bulletin applies to a generator you have in operation.
