We invest heavily in the development of our team, procedures, and principles to improve design, reliability, and performance. Our power plant generator experts have designed solutions to numerous aging fleet issues; including MD&A’s 7FH2 generator spring migration repair<\/a> and dusting on\u00a07FH2 & 324 stator end winding systems<\/a>.<\/p>\n MD&A’s power plant generator experts are here to assist you through the process of your outage. We provide outage planning<\/a> services, technical direction<\/a>, and turnkey labor<\/a> to cover all of your outage needs. Our project managers and technical directors are experienced professionals who specialize in the many unique and complex areas of turbine-generator engineering.<\/p>\n Our power plant generator specialists conduct full-scope electrical testing, visual inspections<\/a>, and specialty tests as per customer requirements on both field and stator components. We employ trained and skilled experts who approach challenges with the experiences gained from hundreds of successful projects.<\/p>\n Our Air Gap-Bot, is a generator in-situ inspection robot<\/a> that can perform full generator inspections without removing the field saving cost and time! With a trained specialist, it can perform a visual inspection, stator wedge tightness assessment, and an Electromagnetic Core Imperfection Detection (ELCID).<\/p>\n Since our founding, we\u2019ve enjoyed a reputation as innovators, practitioners, and teachers in the art of balancing and vibration analysis<\/a> of heavy rotating equipment.\u00a0 Our state-of-the-art High-Speed Balance Facility<\/a>\u00a0was designed with both vacuum capability and the ability to excite generator rotors at high-speed, allowing the testing and balancing of both turbine and generator rotors.<\/p>\n Our specialized service capabilities also include Control and Excitation Field Engineering, Consulting & Training<\/a>. MD&A Turbine and Generator Controls Division maintains a staff of OEM experienced field engineers who provide installation, technical support, advanced troubleshooting, training, and consulting services for gas turbine controls, generator excitation<\/a>, and auxiliary systems. Capabilities also include Turbine System Enhancements<\/a> to improve system performance.<\/p>\n Additionally, our experts are able to aid in foundation monitoring<\/a> and center-line installations<\/a>.<\/p>\n We also have a Generator Field Swap Out Program with fields available to support forced or emergent outage needs.<\/p>\n MD&A Turbine and Generator Controls Division has a strategic partnership with Lectrodryer\u00ae to perform installation and commissioning services for their\u00a0Generator Automated Hydrogen Purge Package<\/a>. This purges the Generator in 40 minutes versus 12 hours. When purchasing the Lectrodryer\u00ae hardware through MD&A, our experts can engineer the modification, remove the existing equipment, install the new equipment and integrate and commission the skid controls.<\/p>\n MD&A Turbine and Generator Controls Division also partners with Cutsforth to offer Generator Condition Monitoring.<\/p>\n MD&A provides turnkey comprehensive refurbishment and repair of large utility and industrial generator stators and fields, and high-voltage bushing refurbishment.<\/p>\n Our experts can perform on-site stator repair<\/a> while coordinating new bars or performing a Wedge System Upgrade or Flush & Bake Services. Our Turbine-Generator Repair facility can accommodate generator field rewinds<\/a> of any capacity, including large 4-pole nuclear units. We have two new generator clean rooms to accommodate multiple field rewinds at a time, including Main Lead Replacement and Retaining Ring Change-Outs.<\/p>\n MD&A has the experience and the tooling necessary to disassemble, clean, repair, and recondition or newly manufacture multiple high-voltage bushings<\/a>, simultaneously, including Stand-Off Insulators.<\/p>\n Our MD&A patented\u00a0Two-Piece Clip<\/a> addresses all known leakage and porosity issues with water-cooled stators.<\/p>\n Additionally, our experts can provide a permanent and economical solution for addressing the potential fretting or cracking of generator rotor slot dovetail<\/a> surfaces. The inspection and repairs can be conducted either at your plant on-site or in our Turbine-Generator Repair Facility.\u00a0 We can also help with the field fitting of critical hydrogen seal<\/a> assemblies.<\/p>\n MD&A has helped many customers eliminate the undesirable effects of oil whip or steam whirl by designing, manufacturing, and repairing elliptical bearings.<\/a> A tilt pad journal<\/a> bearing retrofit can also be a cost-effective solution.<\/p>\n Our complete oil deflector<\/a> reconditioning service assures our customers the long-term integrity of a tight oil sealing system without the immediate anxiety of a rub-induced vibration during startup.<\/p>\n We have Full 7A6 \/ Brush Generator Capabilities, including field rewinds with High-Speed Balance in the St. Louis Shop.<\/p>\n Our experienced team can remove and install flexible leads in GE\u00ae generators.<\/p>\n MD&A provides our customers with the finest quality generator stator bars<\/a> with the use of the highest quality insulating materials, state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques, and our highly skilled reverse engineering team.<\/p>\n We can manufacture and machine Collector Rings<\/a> for your generator, or recondition or newly manufacture high-voltage bushings<\/a>.<\/p>\n The MD&A Parts Division stocks a number of parts and components to ensure we can get our customers back online fast. From miscellaneous generator parts<\/a> or fasteners<\/a> that support standard unit maintenance activities to hydrogen seal rings,<\/a> insulated bearing rings<\/a>, oil deflectors<\/a>, and legacy turbine circuit boards.<\/a><\/p>\n MD&A also offers comprehensive generator retrofits and replacement<\/a> packages for most turbine generator products.<\/p>\n Here are some case study blogs with specific examples:<\/strong>Generator Services<\/a><\/h3>\n
