Читать книгу Handbook of Large Hydro Generators - Geoff Klempner - Страница 12

Mr. Mottershead has worked or consulted on rotating apparatus for over 45 years with 33 of these years as an engineer at Westinghouse, where he was mentored by a select group of electrical and mechanical generator design and manufacturing engineers. These mentors had lineage that reached back to Nikola Tesla, George Westinghouse, and other key pioneers of the early power generation industry. His objective in writing this book with the other expert authors is to pass on lessons he was fortunate to receive to those working at all levels of hydro power generation. Mr. Mottershead is an IEEE Life Member and a Principle Consultant at HDR.

Mr. Bomben is a Sr. Engineer at Ontario Power Generation (formerly Ontario Hydro) with over 29 years of experience inspecting large hydro generators, providing oversight on rewinds, overhauls, new machines, failure investigations, repairs and testing, and writing technical specifications. He is a senior member of the IEEE with many contributions to the development of generator operation, maintenance, and insulation standards. The inspiration for this book was to produce a comprehensive written knowledge base for use by any power engineer interested in large hydro generators, informed by theory, operational history and physical inspection.

Mr. Klempner is an IEEE Fellow and large rotating electrical machines specialist in the power industry for over 43 years. He provides electrical machine technical services on a global basis, regarding large generators and motors. This includes inspection, testing, design evaluation, failure analysis, life assessment, preparation of technical specifications, and test procedures. Previously, he worked with Ontario Hydro (now Ontario Power Generation) for over 25 years, and then NSS (Nuclear Safety Solutions) and Kinectrics Inc. He has authored or coauthored 65 papers and articles, and 4 textbooks. He also has an extensive background of professional activities, with IEEE, EPRI, and CIGRE.

Dr. Kerszenbaum has been involved in design, manufacturing, maintenance, and operation of large electrical machines for about 40 years. He also has been a contributor in writing IEEE standards for this type of equipment. He authored and coauthored several books on the subject, and educated hundreds of engineers over the years.
