Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for virtual machine testing of an electric machine. A test signature including parameter values measured during one or more static tests of the electric machine is compared to a reference signature generated by performing a similar series of static tests on a reference machine. The reference machine is then validated by subjecting the reference machine to full-load dynamic testing. The test and reference signatures may include a plurality of parameters each characterizing a physical property of the respective machines in one or more physical domains. The parameters are selected so that the electric machine can be qualified for operation in the field by comparing the test signature to the reference signature, thereby avoiding the need for full-load dynamic testing of the electric machine.

Abstract: An electrical power generator for a wind turbine comprising: a generator housing, a stator at a radially outward position and a rotor in a radially inward position, wherein the rotor comprises a cylindrical ring structure arranged about a rotational axis, R, and defining a central hollow portion. The electrical power generator further comprises a rotor shroud attached to the generator housing and which extends about the rotational axis, R, wherein the rotor shroud includes a dome portion that extends into the central hollow portion of the rotor so as to protect the cylindrical ring structure of the rotor. Advantageously, the rotor shroud provides a tunnel-like surface that extends into the central hollow portion of the generator so as to prevent objects such as tools from contacting components of the rotor. The invention also relates to a method for 15 assembling such an electrical power generator with a rotor shroud.
