HSA Technical Risks and Mitigation Plans
19
HSA Major Technical Risks:
Identified Early On In The Program
  • Rotor Integrity


  • Magnet Demagnetization


  • Safety due to Internal Faults
20
HSA Technical Risk:
Rotor Design Integrity
  • Issues
    • Manufacturing process scalability for large rotor with thick composite
    • Rotor integrity and magnet retaining capability
    • Rotor burst failure mode for containment analysis


  • Mitigation Plan
    • Build scale down rotors (1/3 magnet length with same cross-section) using same manufacturing process
    • Spin testing
21
HSA Technical Risk:
Scaled Down Rotor
22
 
23
HSA Technical Risk:
Magnet Demagnetization
  • Issues
    • Magnet demagnetization under high temperature and high electrical loading
  • Mitigation Plan
    • Short circuit testing of scale down unit to quantify demagnetization
    • Demagnetization taken into account in HSA design  based on previous experience
    • Magnetized rotor is exposed to temp. above 180oC during manufacturing process.
24
HSA Technical Risk:
Short Circuit Testing
25
HSA Technical Risk:
Internal Faults
  • Issues/concerns
    • Safety hazard including fire due to internal faults since permanents magnet excitation can not be turned off
  • Mitigation Plan
    • Transient thermal analysis for normal short circuit mode and failure mode
    • Implementation of current sensors for over current  and current unbalance detection



26
HSA Technical Risk:
Internal Faults:
Transient Thermal Analysis to Examine Short Circuit Condition
  • Two different scenarios considered
    • 3-phase balance short circuit across zero impedance
    • Line-to-line short circuit across zero impedance
  • Considered emergency shutdown sequence including coasting duration
  • Assumed no water cooling available during this interval
  • Air cooling from fan flow rate variation as a function of time
  • Machine losses variation as a function of time
  • Assumed worst case initial condition

Testing & Results

Gas Turbine Start Converter
Testing & Lessons Learned
  • Speed Achieved by start converter: 14,500 RPM
  • Verified the Start Capability While Spinning Down
  • Higher than expected Back EMF was observed due to magnet strength being higher than those used in the models
  • ΰHSA is electro-magnetically capable of producing more than 2MW
  • HSA can be scaled down – length wise – to reduce the Back EMF and the windage loss and hence resulting in efficiency enhancements

Model Estimates & Assumptions
  • Only lump sum of losses could be measured via the torque-meter
  • Models were used to estimate the factors contributing to the lump sum of losses
  • Iron loss model was based on the stronger than expected magnets (30 MGO vs. 26 MGO)
  • Windage loss estimates are based on 220F & 16.5psia air gap temperature and pressures, respectively
  • Bearings losses were estimated based on 175F & 0.5gpm oil inlet temperature and total flow, respectively
