Abstract
Disclosed is a method of operating a large electric generator, the generator having a rotor arranged along a centerline of the generator, a core arranged coaxially and surrounding the rotor; a plurality of stator windings arranged within the core; a stator frame arranged to fixedly support the core and rotationally support the rotor; a gas cooling system that circulates a cooling gas within the generator, the method steps including circulating a cooling liquid that cool the stator windings; sensing an output parameter of the generator; comparing via a control system the sensed output parameter of the generator to a predetermined scheme; and sending a control signal to an adjusting device in accordance with the control system comparison.
