Comparing IEEE 50.13 and IEC 60034 standards for large cylindrical rotor synchronous machines

This report is an annual progress report by the Generator Subcommittee of the Electrical Machinery Committee of the IEEE Power and Energy Society, Working Group No. 8 (“IEEE C50.13 Review & Compare”). This working group is tasked to compare the 2005 revision of the IEEE C50.13 standard for large round rotor synchronous generators with recent revisions of comparable International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60034 standards. The intention of this paper is to report the progress this working group had made, highlight some significant comparison findings, outline the next step planning of this project and call for more industry support.
