The design and operation of 700MW class Totally Air-Cooled Hydroelectric generators

Abstract

As a series of 700MW Class Totally Air-Cooled Hydroelectric generators has been put into operation in China, the development of hydroelectric generators has arrived at a new stage. To summarize the experience, taking the generator of Three Gorges Right Bank Power Station as an example, the design and operation features about 700MW Class Totally Air-Cooled Hydroelectric generators are presented and discussed.
