Generator
Because predecessor OEM "legacy" designs often take a back seat to the "current" OEM`s designs, NEC has found a niche in serving this market. NEC design engineers have a diversity of knowledge and experience that gives our design team a wide-ranging base of experience with generating units of all ages, makes, sizes and types, including unit models that are no longer actively manufactured. Along with the winding design, our engineers address related issues of unit reliability, efficiency, maintainability and longevity. By comprehensively addressing the total machine, old units can become newly valuable as functioning assets for the generation of electricity.
Past projects have involved generator rewinds, uprates or repairs to rotating electrical equipment manufactured by nearly every supplier in the world. A partial list includes:
- GEC
- Allis Chalmers
- Peebles
- Elliott
- English Electric
- Parsons
- KWV
- Asea
- Brown Bovari
These projects have services turbogenerators, hydrogenerators, AC and DC motors, exciters, frequency changes and synchronous condensers. Sizes have ranged from motors of a couple thousand horsepower, to 1000 MVA generators.
