Mission

To facilitate and promote the progress of engineering and the international exchange of information and knowledge in the field of electromechanical energy conversion realised by rotating machines and associated equipment in both power generation and consumption, by providing a full E2E forum covering all aspects of equipment lifecycle including the influence/impact of their operating environment. To add value to this information and knowledge by means of synthesizing state-of-the-art practices and developing recommendations.

Technological field of activity

• Turbine generators
• Hydro generators
• Rotating generators for
renewable/variable
applications
• Motors

Scope

Study Committee A1 covers all aspects of electromechanical energy conversion equipment, rotating electrical machines for power generation, grid support, and energy conversion within industrial applications. This includes research, development, design, manufacture and testing of power generation and electromechanical energy conversion equipment and their associated auxiliaries, commissioning, operation, condition assessment, maintenance, life extension, refurbishment, upgrades, efficiency improvement, conversion, storage and de-commissioning.

Within this framework additional specific areas of attention include:

• Theory, principles and concepts, functionality, technological development, design,
performance and application of materials, efficiency.
• Manufacturing, quality assurance, application guidance, planning, routing and location,
construction, erection, installation.
• Reliability, availability, dependability, maintainability and maintenance, service,
condition monitoring, diagnostics, restoration, repair, loading, upgrading, uprating.
• Refurbishment, re-use/re-deployment, deterioration, dismantling, disposal.
