  • Publication number: 20240141799
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for removing a rotor (100) of a generator (4) in a turbine plant (1) in which the generator (4) is driven by at least one turbine (7), in particular a gas turbine or steam turbine, in which the turbine (7) is opened and the rotor (39) of the turbine (7) is removed, and only then is the rotor of the generator (4) pulled out of the generator (4) so that it is located in the lower housing half of the turbine (7).

  • Patent number: 11936260
    Abstract: A stator for an electric machine includes: a laminated stator core including stator grooves and having a plug-in side and a bending side, which bending side lies opposite the plug-in side in an axial direction; a stator winding having hairpin elements which are pushed into the stator grooves on the plug-in side of the laminated stator core and bent and electrically connected to the stator winding on the bending side of the laminated stator core; and an end plate which is arranged on the plug-in side in the axial direction between the laminated stator core and the hairpin elements. The hairpin elements are arranged in the axial direction so as to bear against the end plate.

  • Patent number: 11716001
    Abstract: A method for producing a stator (20) of an electric machine is provided. The method includes providing a stator (20) with at least one stator slot (22) that is bounded by two stator teeth. The method proceeds by introducing electrical conductors (30) into the at least one stator slot (22). At least one conductor (30) has an expandable coating (25) applied partially to its surface. The method continues by activating the expandable coating (25) to bring about an expansion of the coating (25), as a result of which the conductors (30) are fixed within the stator slot (22).

  • Publication number: 20170139960
    Abstract: A database definition language (DDL) description of a database table can be copied to create a temporary copy of the database table as part of a table upgrade to change a structure of the database table to an upgraded structure. The temporary copy of the database table can be renamed, and the DDL description in the temporary copy of the database table can be changed to an intermediate state while a runtime object and a database object of the database table remain in original states. The changed DDL description can be activated in the temporary copy of the database table such that the runtime object and the database object are updated to the intermediate state, and the temporary copy of the database table can be renamed to an original name of the database table, thereby activating the temporary copy as the database table with the upgraded structure.

  • Patent number: 9176996
    Abstract: Copying data in a table from a source database to a target database is performed by copying the table into a conflicts schema. A first INSERT/SELECT statement is executed to copy data from the table. Then, in response to a determination that the table definition for the table in a source database dictionary is not compatible with a table definition for the table in a target database dictionary, the INSERT/SELECT statement execution is rolled back in response to a determination that the data from the first INSERT/SELECT statement did not fit in a table in the target schema of the target database. A second INSERT/SELECT statement is executed including a WHERE clause to copy data from the table to the target schema of the target database. In response to a determination that the second INSERT/SELECT statement did not copy data from the table to the target schema of the target database, a third INSERT/SELECT statement is executed forcing the data to fit.
