The Electromagnetic-Fluid-Temperature Field Analysis of Loss and Heat of Self-Cooling Separate-Phase Enclosed Bus of Large Generator

Abstract

The loss and heat of a self-cooling enclosure-isolated phase bus of large generator are studied by establishing the electromagnetic-fluid-temperature field model of the bus using the finite element method. Factors such as skin effect and eddy loss, the electro-conductivity temperature effect, gas flow, and gravity are considered. The compositive calculation and analysis of the loss and temperature of the self-cooling enclosure-isolated phase bus of a 600 MW generator are conducted, and the data are compared with the test. The results show that the current and loss distribution in the conductor and sheath of the horizontal bus correlate with skin effect. The distribution of the bus temperature around the vertical center axis is symmetric, but the temperature of the top bus is higher than the bottom. If the influence of the acceleration of gravity and heat radiation is not considered, the result will become unreasonable.
