<p>The present invention relates to a turbogenerator including a brushless exciter. A rotating shaft (1) is required to have an overhang for mounting of a generator for an AC-exciter (4), the shaft length being increased correspondingly. The overhang may become the cause of generating shaft vibrations. A turbogenerator comprises a rotor over which a field winding (21) is disposed, a coupling co-cut from a rotor shaft, an AC exciter (4) for supplying a DC current to the field winding (21) through a rectifier, and a generator for an AC-exciter, the generator including a permanent magnet (13) as a field generator and supplying a DC current to a field winding (21) of the AC exciter (4) through the rectifier. The AC exciter (4) and the generator are disposed over the rotor shaft (1). The rotor is rotated through engagement between a steam turbine or a gas turbine, serving as a prime mover, and the coupling (3). The generator for the AC-exciter (4) is mounted in a position on the side nearer to the turbine than a stator of the turbogenerator.</p> |
