ALTERREX excitation systems were supplied for large steam turbine-generators between 1965 and 1992. Excitation power for these systems is supplied by a shaft-driven alternator-exciter with a stationary armature and rotating field. The alternator output is rectified by a set of stationary diode bridges and then applied to the main generator field. Today, these systems exhibit the same characteristics as any aging control system with parts availability, service availability, increased maintenance and limited data access for operations and maintenance. In addition, the AC generators still require maintenance of the commutator and brush rigging along with balancing, bearings and cooling systems.
