Description
Summary:Due to the increasing injection of intermittent power sources (solar+wind) into a common grid, dispatchable sources such as hydro power should be able to help reduce the variability in load and the variability in generation caused by the intermittent sources. A hydro generator should be able to operate short-term beyond its thermal capability limit. This requires the monitoring of internal temperatures in the hydro generator. In this paper, a thermal model of an air-cooled synchronous generator is presented, emphasizing the various aspects of parameter estimation and identifiability using Bayesian inference. Inferences are drawn from the posterior distributions of the parameters and initial conditions, dispersion (spreading) of particles and sampling efficiency, practical parameter identifiability, and model mismatch with experiments. Results show extremely narrow parameter distributions. It is early to generalize about the posterior distribution of air-related and metal-related parameters of the air-cooled synchronous generator based on the single experimental data presented here.
