4 Expression of hydrogen humidity
The hydrogen humidity in generator and that for hydrogen charging and replenishing are all expressed in dew-point temperature td, usually in centigrade, ℃.

Maximum allowable humidity of hydrogen in generator during operation
(dew-point temperature td)
℃ -5 0
The minimum temperature in generator may be determined as follows.
——Generator in stable operation: the lower value of cold hydrogen temperature and internal cooling water inlet temperature is taken as the lowest temperature in the generator, whichever is lower.
——Generator out of service and generator during start-up and shutdown: the lowest values of cold hydrogen temperature, internal cooling water inlet temperature, stator winding temperature and stator core temperature is taken as the lowest internal temperature of the generator.
5.2 The allowable humidity of the hydrogen used for charging and replenishing the generator at atmospheric pressure is the dew-point temperature t_d≤-50℃.
6 Determination of hydrogen humidity
6.1 Measurement methods and requirements
a) The hydrogen in the hydrogen-cooled generator and the hydrogen used for charging and replenishing shall be measured regularly.
b) Continuous monitoring should be adopted for hydrogen-cooled generators of 300MW and above.
c) An offline (portable) hydrogen hygrometer that meets the requirements of measurement regulations shall be used to compare the hydrogen humidity regularly.
d) The frequency of off-line (portable) hydrogen hygrometer for humidity monitoring shall be increased, when the on-line hydrogen hygrometer is out of operation due to maintenance and calibration.
6.2 Sampling point and sampling pipeline
6.2.1 A sampling bypass with isolation and control valves may be provided for the hydrogen hygrometer at the sampling place, in order to meet the following requirements when continuous monitoring is adopted:
a. ensure that the installed hygrometer can continuously monitor the hydrogen humidity in the generator when the generator drying device is in the maintenance and shutdown state;
b. ensure that the generator drying device can still dry the hydrogen when the hydrogen hygrometer exits;
c. meet the requirements of hydrogen hygrometer for flow (velocity).
The sampling points should be set:
a. on the inlet section of the generator drying device;
b. on the inlet and outlet pipes of the generator drying device, to monitor the hydrogen humidity in the generator and the humidity of the hydrogen returning to the generator after being dried by the hydrogen drying device, so as to judge the drying performance of the hydrogen drying device, to provide monitoring data for regeneration and replacement of desiccant.
6.2.2 The sampling points for measuring the humidity of hydrogen for charging and replenishing should be set on the outlet pipe section of the hydrogen station. When continuous monitoring method is adopted, a sampling bypass with isolation and control valves may be specially configured for the hydrogen hygrometer at the sampling place, to ensure that the hydrogen station can still charge and supplement the hydrogen-cooled generator when the hydrogen hygrometer exits, and to meet the flow requirements of the hydrogen hygrometer.
6.2.3 When measuring the hydrogen humidity in the generator by off-line (portable) hydrogen hygrometer, the sampling point shall be well ventilated and as close to the generator body as possible, and the sampling pipe should be stainless steel, copper or poly (tetrachloroethylene) pipe.
6.2.4 The ambient temperature where the sampling pipeline passes shall be higher than the humidity dew-point temperature of the measured gas by more than 3℃.
