Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method and a generator system for operating a generator. The method for operating the generator includes exciting the field winding of a rotor of the generator by a first exciter device, driving a second exciter device while operating the generator with the first exciter device, and switching the second exciter device to excite the generator in case the first exciter device feeds to the generator not sufficient energy for operating the generator during a malfunction of the first exciter device. Further, a corresponding generator system is described.
Claims11
A method for operating a generator, the method comprising:
- exciting the field winding of a rotor of the generator by a first exciter device, driving a second exciter device while operating the generator with the first exciter device, and switching the second exciter device to excite the generator in case the first exciter device feeds to the generator not sufficient energy for operating the generator during a malfunction of the first exciter device.
A generator system comprising a first exciter device for exciting the field winding of a rotor, a second exciter device for continuous operation while operating the generator, and at least a switch for switching the second exciter device to the field winding of the generator in case of a malfunction of the generator.
