Abstract
The disclosure provides an apparatus including a temperature sensor configured to monitor a temperature of a generator component of a power train assembly. The power train assembly includes a power train component in thermal communication with a cooling fluid and mounted on a same shaft as the generator component. A controller is coupled to the temperature sensor and a heat exchange circuit for adjusting a temperature of the cooling fluid. The controller calculates a target temperature for the generator component based on a target thrust bearing parameter or a target vibration parameter for the power train assembly and adjusts a delivery of the cooling fluid to the power train component based on a difference between the monitored temperature and the target temperature.
