The torsional vibration of turbine-generator shafts can be excited by the disturbance of electric power system. The coupling interaction between the system disturbance and the torsional vibration makes turbine-generator oscillate. Alternate torsional stress due to large torsional vibration shortens the life of shafts, even makes shafts break. The natural characteristics and responses of torsional vibration of shafts of 200MW turbine-generator are simulated and analyzed under the catastrophic accidental condition. The causes for the breaking of bolts between the coupling of intermediate-pressure and low-pressure rotor and the coupling of generator and exciter rotor are discussed. The results are identical with the data recorded in the field.

Due to the disturbance of electric power system or other shock load, the torsional vibration of turbine-generator shafts occurs. Alternative shear stress due to torsional vibration decreases the shafts life, even results in shafts broken. It is significant to calculate and analyze natural properties and the responses of tosional vibration excited by the disturbance of electric power system in order to analyze and prevent catastrophic accident. The calculation and analysis system of torsional vibration of turbine-generator shafts is developed. With multi-mass lumped model, the model of torsional vibration of turbine-generator shafts is obtained. The system calculates the natural frequencies and the modal shapes of torsional vibration with the transfer matrix method, the response of torsional vibration of shafts with the increment transfer matrix method, such as torsional angle, angular velocity, angular acceleration, cross-section torque, and torsional stress. The response spectrum of torsional vibration can be obtained by fast Fourier transform algorithm Take an example of a 200MW turbine-generator, which is in the condition of non-all-phase operation. The responses of torsional vibration of shafts are calculated and analyzed. The bolt broken reasons of the coupling of inter-pressure rotor and low-pressure rotor and the coupling of generator and exciter are discussed. The results are identical with the data recorded in field. It is proved that the system is good precision, convenient using, friendly interfacing, and visual calculating.

Due to the disturbance of electric power system or other shock load, the torsional vibration of turbine-generator shafts occurs. It is significant to calculate the response of torsional vibration excited by the disturbance of electric power system in order to analyze and prevent catastrophic accident. The multi-mass lumped model of turbine-generator shafts is used. A new method of response calculation of torsional vibration of turbine-generator shafts, the Increment Transfer Matrix method (ITM), which combines the Riccati transfer matrix method with the Newmark-β step-by-step integral method, is presented. By the ITM method, the transient response of torsional vibration of turbine-generator shafts, especially at the dangerous cross-sections, can be calculated. The responses of torsional vibration of 200MW turbine-generator shafts due to the generator at non-all-phase operation are calculated and analyzed. The cause of bolt broken of the coupling of intermediate-pressure rotor and low-pressure rotor and the coupling of generator and exciter are discussed. The results are identical with the data recorded in field.

The disturbance of electric power system makes large-scale turbine-generator shafts generate torsional vibration. A available method to restrain the torsional vibration of turbine-generator shafts is that all the natural frequencies of torsional vibration of turbine-generator shafts must keep away from the working frequency and its harmonic frequencies as well as all the frequencies that possibly bring on interaction between turbine-generator and electric power system so that the torsional resonation of shafts may not occur. A dynamic design method for natural frequencies of torsional vibration of rotor system based on sensitivity analysis is presented. The sensitivities of natural frequency of torsional vibration to structure parameters of rotor system are obtained by means of the theory of sensitivity. After calculated the torsional vibration dynamic characteristics of original shafts of a torsional vibration stand that simulates the real shafts of 300MW turbine-generator, the dynamic modification for the torsional vibration natural frequency is carried out by the sensitivity analysis method, which makes the first-five natural frequencies of torsional vibration of the stand is very close to the design object. It is proved that the sensitivity analysis method can be used to the dynamic adjustment and optimal design of real shafts of turbine-generator.
