Abstract: Analytical
calculus and computational models of multiphysics problems were used in order
to solve an overheating problem and simultaneously increasing reactive power in
a generator group of a hydroelectric power plant (HPP). All of them present the
same geometrical, mechanical and electromagnetic characteristics. A method of
iteration using finite elements analysis (FEA) called simplified virtual
laboratory (SVL) was used to find a solution from an accurate, reliable and
fast process. Models of electromagnetics, computational fluids flow (CFD), heat
transfer and stress analysis were done. Finite elements models were used to
evaluate different aspects and to develop the final solution.
