Metodologia de diagnóstico de manutenção baseada em condição de enrolamentos estatóricos em hidrogeradores

Abstract

This paper presents a methodology applied at the Balbina Hydroelectric Power Plant to diagnose faults in stator windings of hydro generators, using partial discharge monitoring as a predictive maintenance tool. This technique enables the identification of insulation deterioration and supports decision-making based on reliable data, reducing costs, increasing reliability, and avoiding unnecessary maintenance. The methodology allows for more effective maintenance planning, extending equipment lifespan.
