Abstract
A very important issue during the electrical design of hydro-generators is the reliability of the loss calculation in the manufacturer’s design calculation program. The design engineer who has to guarantee the losses must be able to estimate the risk of liquidated damages when defining the guarantee values. This paper presents the optimization of the loss calculation in a design program for salient pole synchronous machines. Statistical methods are used to calibrate the loss calculation with measurements made during commissioning. Within this paper special importance is attached to the optimization of the no-load electromagnetic losses.
