Abstract

In this paper, a passive magnetorheological (MR) fluid damper is used to control vibrations generated in big turbo-generator shaft. The turbo-generator shaft is modeled using finite element method. The torque vibrations appeared in generator during different electrical faults are simulated using d-q-0 model using predictor–corrector method. The modified Bouc–Wen model is used to simulate the MR fluid damper. The complete dynamic system is modeled using MATLAB. The simulation results showed that MR fluid damper effectively reduces the rotor vibrations, but for better control of vibrations an active MR fluid damper can be more effective.
