Call for Papers

Preferential Subjects

The Colloquium will cover the following topics and sub-topics: 

PS 1: CHANGING ROLE OF ELECTRICAL MACHINES IN POWER GENERATION 

• Impact and effect of increasing renewable power mix on new and existing generators, generator auxiliaries and motors 

• Variable speed/pump storage and synchronous compensator design and performance for supporting power generation networks 

• Increasing focus on alternative power generation sources (wind, tidal, solar, small thermal/nuclear, geothermal, small hydro). 

PS 2: OPTIMISATION OF INSTALLED ASSETS 

• Adaptation of maintenance regimes due to new operating regimes 

• Experience with refurbishment, replacement, conversions, power up-rating and efficiency improvement of generators 

• Developments in condition monitoring, diagnosis, prognosis to improve reliability and extend operational life of conventional plant, including data handling and digital modelling 

PS 3: NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND OPERATIONAL EXPERIENCE 

• Evolution and trends in designs of rotating machines, materials, manufacture, maintenance, and performance improvements 

• Operational experience: Failures, root cause analysis, recovery options, cost and time reduction initiatives 

• Developments in the use of variable or high speed motors in power generation 

Submission of Colloquim Papers and Presentations

Colloquim presentations, papers:

For the presentation at the colloquium a PowerPoint presentation is obligatory. The submission of a written paper is not mandatory, but to increase the value of the contributions, SC-A1 appreciates and encourages all authors to submit their contribution also in paper form.
All submitted papers or presentations will be available to all participants during the colloquium. 

Poster session:

A poster session will be held before the colloquium during which authors can show and discuss their work with experts and colleagues.
