Record 3 2009-01-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Turboalternators and Turbogenerators
DEF

An integral unit comprising a turbine and generator in which high pressure steam from a power station boiler is converted into mechanical energy in the turbines and thence into electrical energy by the generators.

OBS

Although in small sizes they may be gear-driven, and some may be dc [direct current] generators, the term turbogenerator generally means an ac [alternating current] generator driven directly from the shaft of a steam turbine.

OBS

turbo-generator set: term standardized by the IEC.

Key term(s)
  • turbogenerator set

French

Domaine(s)
  • Turbo-alternateurs et turbogénérateurs
DEF

Association d'une turbine, généralement à vapeur ou hydraulique, avec un générateur électrique.

OBS

Si, d'après le contexte, il ne fait pas de doute qu'il s'agit d'un générateur de courant alternatif, l'équivalent préféré est «turboalternateur» (ou «turbo-alternateur».)

Key term(s)
  • turbo-générateur
  • turbo-génératrice
  • groupe turbo-générateur

DEF

Ensemble de production d'électricité constitué d'une turbine à vapeur et d'un alternateur sur le même arbre.

OBS

La turbine, entraînée par la détente de la vapeur du circuit secondaire, est composée d'un corps haute pression (HP) et de plusieurs corps basse pression (BP). L'alternateur fournit le courant électrique, qui est dirigé sur le réseau de transport. Quand on parle d'une centrale «900 mégawatts» (MW) ou de «1300 MW», on se réfère à la puissance électrique disponible en sortie de l'alternateur.
