Abstract

This paper discusses magnetic simulation and analysis of radial flux permanent magnet generator (PMG) using finite element method (FEM) by utilizing open source software FEMM 4.2. The specification of generator is 25 V, 28 A, 3 phase, 300 rpm. The analyzed magnetic flux was in the air gap, stator teeth and slots to find out the distribusian pattern and its fluctuation. The simulations were conducted in no-load and nominal load (28 A) conditions. Furthermore the maximum flux density of simulation (Bg(sim)) was used to calculate phase voltage Eph to find out the magnitude of generated electromotive force (EMF). The calculation results were presented as voltage vs. rotation graph in no-load condition and voltage vs. current graph in nominal load condition. Both graphs were validated with Eph of experiment result (Eph(exp)) and Eph that the value of Bg obtained from analytical calculation (Eph(calc)). The final results showed that in no-load condition, Eph graph with Bg(sim) (Eph(sim)) was close to Eph(exp) and Eph(calc). The error rate with respect to the experiment was 6,9%. In nominal load condition, Eph(sim) graph almost coincides with Eph(calc.) graph, with the voltage drop of both was 0,441 V. Both graphs however were far different from Eph(exp) graph, which has 9 V of voltage drop. The overall results demonstrated that magnetic distribution pattern presented by FEM was very helpful to avoid magnetic flux accumulation in a particular segment. Besides Bg(sim) facilitated to predict the value of Eph.

Abstract

Dynamic characteristics of a critical speed of the rotor components at interior permanent magnet motor were evaluated using one-dimensional (1D) and three-dimensional (3D) finite element methods. Critical speed of the rotor wasinvestigated in the Campbell diagram, which shows the relationship between natural frequency and rotational velocity of the system when the motor is not in operation. The 1D finite element analysis shows that there are two modes which are close to the design frequency of 300 Hz i.e. mode 1 and 2. However the critical rotational velocity in both modes are still far above the maximum velocity design of 6,000 rpm. Validation using 3D finite element analysis demonstrated that all modes were still above the designed frequency and did not find any critical speed below 6,000 rpm. It can be concluded that the critical speed of the rotor of IPM motor is still outside the system resonance region, and can be operated safely.

Abstract

Analytical and numerical studies of the deflection in the structure of 10 kW low speed permanent magnet generator (PMG) have been discussed in this paper. This study is intended to prevent failure of the structure when the prototype is made. Numerical analysis was performed with the finite-element method (FEM). Flux density, weight and temperature of the components are the required input parameters. Deflection observed were the movements of the two main rotor components, namely the rim and shaft, where the maximum deflection allowed at the air gap between rotor and stator should be between 10% to 20% of the air gap clearance or 0.1000 mm to 0.2000 mm. Base on the analysis, total deflection of the analytic calculation was 0.0553 mm, and numerical simulation was 0.0314 mm. Both values were in the acceptable level because it was still below the maximum allowed deflection. These results indicate that the structure of a permanent magnet generator (rim and shaft) can be used safely.

Abstract

The study is intended to improve the performance of gas turbine engines in order to meet both electrical power demand and peak load in the power plant. In this paper, evaporative cooling system had been applied to improve the performance of gas turbine in Pesanggaran power plant in southern Bali Island, Indonesia. Moreover, the economic analysis was conducted to determine the capacity cost, operating cost and payback period due to the investment cost of the system. Based on the evaluation results, the power improvement for the three gas turbine units (GT1, GT2 and GT3) are 2.09%, 1.38%, and 1.28%, respectively. These results were not very significant when compared to the previous studies as well as on the aspects of SFC (Specific Fuel Consumption), heat rate and thermal efficiency. Based on the evaluation of the economic aspects, the reduction of production costs due to the application of evaporative cooling system was not economical, because it could not compensate the investment cost of the system and it resulted a very long payback period. These unsatisfactory results could be caused by the high relative humidity. Therefore, further studies are needed to investigate the other alternative technologies which are more suitable to the climate conditions in Indonesia.

Abstract

Quality of the diesel-electric train (KRDE) modified from the electric train (A and B types) which were used in three operating regions in the Indonesian Railway Company has been evaluated by analyzing the cause of the KRDE damages in terms of some aspects including: design, components quality, maintenance (method, finance, human resources), environment and way of operation. Based on the evaluation, it was found that the modification of the both types of KRDE provided a very low reliability and availability due to design and technical problems, as well as unoptimal maintenance. In KRDE type A, damage occurs in the cabling system, compressor, radiator fan system, and the braking system. While in type B, damage occurs in the traction motors, static inverter, and radiator fan. It is predicted that their life span can not reach the design life of 25 years, and even they are expected to be grounded. Many improvement is required to lengten their service life including: repair, modification, human resource competence, facilities, spare parts, maintenance and management.
