Popis: Due to more various power disturbances occurring in a power system involving a HVDC link, the turbine generator shafts and/or blades are more prone to damage than in general HVAC systems. In this paper, a new mechanical damper scheme based on participation factor approach is proposed to damp torsional torque and prolong the life of turbine mechanism. Two types of torsional damping couplings, inertia damping coupling and elastic damping coupling, are adopted and examined. The optimal type and the optimal location of the damping coupling will be identified and installed to the turbine generator shaft section. The results demonstrate that the best damper may not be installed at the location with the most onerous vibrations but provides satisfactory damping performance on shafts and blades following severe power disturbances in a HVDC link.
