Types of generator piers

d. Parallel wall type


* Made up of two walls


* Usually for large main unit



Advantage


* Convenience for maintenance


* Repair turbine without remove generator

Layout of generator

a. Stator outside


* Randomly used today


Disadvantage


* The space in generator layer is limited


* The height in turbine layer is small



b. Stator inside


Upper bracket is outside


Advantage


* Convenience for maintenance of suspended type


* Fit for the capacity about 100MW



c. Upper bracket inside


Upper bracket is inside


Disadvantage


* The space in generator layer is enoughWith higher turbine layer

Layout of upper structure

a. Layout of assembly layer


* Assembly place


* Upper bracket


* Lower bracket


* Turbine


* Turbine cover


* Rotor



b. Layout of generator layer(Main building)


* Generator and generator hood


* Valve hole


* Mechanical control machine


* Oil pressure unit


* Grid( Electric control system)


* Air system control room

Layout of sub-structuee

a. Layout of turbine layer


* Turbine


* Generator terminal load


* Oil pressure unit to control valve


* Two types of pump:


- Maintenance drainage


- Seepage drainage



b. Layout of spiral case layer


* Water stopping copper


* Drainage way for waste water


* Two water-collecting wells


- One for maintenance drainage


- One for seepage drainage

Sub-monolith

a. Penstock


b. Spiral case


- Steel(water head>40m)


- Concrete (Water head<40m)


Entrance for repair


* Downstream of valve


* Upside of spiral case



c.Draft tube


* Cone type


* Ancon type- half cone part, curved part, diffussion part(rectangle)



d. Valve



* Ball type(high water head)


* Butterfly type(low water head)

Requirement for valve room

a. In the main building


* The valve must be very reliable, once broken, the water will be out.


* The valve room must has water drainage way



b. Arranged outside


* Trouble for installation and repair

Layout of generator terminal lead

Requirement:


dry, ventilation, heat dissipation,

Electric control system

* Large enough, bright, dry, quiet;


* Close to the main building;


* Between the main building and the high voltage switchyard;


* A cable layer below the central control room;

Requirements for the elevation of sub-structure

* The floor of the generator should be higher than the level of tail water.



* The height of the turbine layer must be larger than 3.5-4 meters.



* It is better to use the same level for the generator layer and the assembly layer.

Mechanical control system

* Speed governor(mechanical hydraulic, electro-hydraulic,microcomputer)



Operation counters;oil pressure unit;servomotor(near stay ring)



* Relief valOperating system of ball or butterfly valvethe oil can be together with the speed governor,or be set individuallyCan be in central control room, or on the spotLift equipment for gate of draft tube: on the spotve: usually controlled by the speed governor of turbine

Mechanical control system

Assembly place

Usage


Installation, maintenance, repair

Girder & Crane

* The girder moves along the longitude of the main building



* The crane moves along the cross direction of the main building

The maximum lifting load
