Exelon Conowingo Powerhouse Units 4,6,7, and 2, Conowingo PA, 40 MVA to 53 MVA
Uprate and Modernization -
Lead Engineer for the modernization and upgrade of four
vertical generators having two different manufacturer’s designs. Project required multi-turn
to bar conversions in new redesigned cores and stator frames with reinsulated field windings.
Changing to bars required the coordination of multiple studies to verify the suitability of
structures when changing the number of slots and winding parallels. Developed a novel bar
braze connector design for improved field brazing quality.
Pearblossom and Oso Pumphouse, California, 22,500, 11,600 and 4,000 Hp High-Speed
Vertical Pump Motor Rewinds -
Provided all electrical design and insulation development
to replace original ashpaltic coils with epoxy mica form wound coils. Since the angle
between top and bottom legs for the coil was very large, epoxy-based flexible knuckles
needed to be developed to safely install the “hard” coil where heating the thermoplastic
asphalt coil to provide flexibility was the original installation method. A new flexible
knuckle approach was successfully developed, applied here and at many other high speed
vertical and horizontal units since.

In addition to the above complete rewind projects, a number of projects were supported
where input was for assessments or sub-system designs only, e.g., replacement core, re-
wedging, winding or core condition assessment, performance calculations and or
troubleshooting. Examples of these projects follow:
Uprate of Ross Dams, Seattle City Light - The Ross Dams are comprised of four 125
MVA units. The core and frame exhibited unusual behavior during full flux loop testing.
The problem was studied, and core and frame frequency responses were measured and the
core was found to be resonant in a zero mode which caused severe vibration amplitudes to
occur during test excitation from loop test flux. The test that was intended to electrically
stress interlaminar insulation was causing severe mechanical damage to frame welds and
other components. It was demonstrated that careful ELCid testing would be more
appropriate to determine interlaminar insulation quality in this case, and this was done
successfully on three of the four units.
Stator Core Condition Assessment, Robert Moses Hydroelectric Facility, New York
Power Authority-
The Robert Moses Hydroelectric Facility is comprised of thirteen 215
MVA units. Evaluation of the expected remaining life of cores continuously operated since
the 1960s. The generator’s history review indicated they had endured air flow distribution
problems for the majority of their service life. The core exhibited wide spread interlaminar
insulation faults during full flux loop testing associated with original air flow pattern.
Findings from study supported decision to replace the cores, showing repairs to existing core
fault locations would not sufficiently reduce operational risks of future core faults. (2005)
Upgrade of Summer Falls, Grand Coulee Project Hydroelectric Authority - The
Summer Falls Project is two 48.7 MVA units. Responsible for designing a replacement core
and bar winding in the original machine which suffered from high voltage degradation due to
the overstressing of the original stator winding. Additional insulation was required to reduce
the ground wall stress and to maintain the current unit rating which required a new, deeper
slot design. The resulting deeper slot offset the space taken up with thicker insulation to
allow equivalent copper cross sections. It also caused a decrease in back iron depth which
then changed the mechanical frequency response of the core and increased the core flux
density. Calculations were done to ensure the new arrangement would not introduce
objectionable noise or vibration and the flux density and core yoke loss were acceptable.
(2003)
Generator Upgrade and Rehabilitation, Grant County, Wanapum Power Hydro Plant,
Columbia River, Washington -
Grant County PUD Wanapum is comprised of 10 units,
each currently rated at 110 MVA, 13.8 kV, to be uprated to 128 MVA. Work for upgrading
these 10 units is expected to include new frames, cores, stator windings and field windings.
Mr. Mottershead is acting as owner’s engineer in review of the basic upgrade and details of
the manufacturer’s design on this project, based on his experience as a design engineer for a
major manufacturer. (Ongoing)
Ludington Pump Storage Plant, Eastern Shores of Lake Michigan, Michigan -
Ludington Pump Storage Plant contains 6 reversible units each rated 315 MVA at 20 kV, to
be uprated to 455 MVA. The generator-motors in this plant have had a history of corona
based problems associated with 20 kV stator windings operating in air. The Owners were
specific in requesting Mr. Mottershead’s support for this very large re-habilitation project
because of his extensive experience in high voltage insulation, gradient system material
development, application and design. (Ongoing)
Helms Pumped Storage Plant, Board of Consultants, Pacific Gas & Electric, Fresno
County, CA
- Mr. Mottershead was named to the Technical Consulting Board to evaluate
specific operational risks within the generator-motors. Helms Powerhouse is a three vertical
unit underground facility that was commissioned on June 30, 1984. The plant has three
Hitachi vertical, reversible pump-turbines each coupled to a Westinghouse generator-motor.
The pump-turbine nameplate rating in the generating mode is 480,000 HP at 1,625 ft net
head. The rating in the pumping mode is 2,400 cfs at a total head of 1,500 ft. The generator-
motor nameplate rating is 390 MVA at 18 kV. (Ongoing)
Cabin Creek, A & B Units, Xcel Energy - 166.7 MVA, Generator-Motor life extension
and up-rate study. Cabin Creek pump storage plant operates 2 vertical generator-motor units
originally manufactured in 1966. The units are designed to provide peaking and reserve
generating capacity. The powerhouse is at an elevation of 10,018 feet above sea level. The
two reversible pump-turbine generators operate at 13.8 kV and 360 RPM and have a
combined rated generating capacity of 300MW at 1,190 ft net head. (Ongoing)
Boundary Units 55 and 56, 210 MVA, Seattle City Light - Owner Engineer for major
generator overhauls including managing core structural vibration issue. Boundary hydro
power plant operates 6 vertical generators with the 2 largest units being scheduled for up-rate
and life extension. The generators, rated at 14.4 kV, 128.6 RPM were originally
manufactured in 1984. These units have suffered from severe core and frame resonant
vibration since initial commissioning, vendor selection and redesign will be based on proven
ability to manage problems of this nature. (Ongoing)
Spray Unit 2, TransAlta - 60 MVA, Vertical generator manufactured in 1960, operating at
13.2 kV and 450 RPM. Problem – chronic recurring vibration at core split locations.
Borescopic and visual inspection of core splits, core to frame attachments and other related
areas leading to an understanding of the cause of core instability and recommendations for
resolution. (2009)
Upper Bonnington, Units 1 to 4, 7.5 and 7.0 MVA, FortisBC – Two unique aged designs
of vertical generators originally manufactured in 1906 and 1914, operating at 2.3 kV and 180
RPM. Plant runs infrequently and required special redesign knowledge for capital budget
planning to determine viability of continued operation. Objective is to increase generator
operating voltage to 7.2 kV at minimal cost. (Ongoing)
Rumford Falls, Unit 3, 10.9 MVA, Brookfield – one vertical generator originally
manufactured in 1926 operating at 11 kV and 200 RPM. Perform a general condition
