Abstract
Hydro-Quebec's research institute initiated a project in 2002 on generators modeling to increase output with minimal impact on aging. This effort is the joint work of several experts and considers electromagnetic, thermal, mechanical and fluid dynamic simulations. The main concerns are presented herein with some of the relationships between physical phenomena. Since simulation results are dependent on some assumptions, an integral part of modeling process is validation by actual measurements on machines during standardized tests, which will also be discussed. Because of the size of the test object, the optimal combination of measurements and simulation has to be found. The current paper presents some of the challenges related to building this global hydro-generator model and the future tasks to complete this work.
