A heat generation system and a method of curing an adhesive for an electrical generator rotor during a rotor rewind operation are provided. The heat generation system includes a heating source in contact with a pole of the electrical generator rotor to heat the pole, thereby reducing heat loss from the adhesive to the pole. The heat generation system also includes at least one holding arrangement holding the heating source in contact with the at least one pole. The method includes applying an adhesive onto an electrical generator rotor and utilizing a heat generation system to provide heat to the electrical generator rotor. The method further includes placing a heating source in contact with the pole, holding the heating source in contact with the pole using a holding arrangement, heating the pole by activating the heating source, and heat curing the adhesive.
