      GENERATOR PROTECTION PANEL

      Product Overview

      Generator, one of the most fundamental and important electric power facilities, composes as a part of power systems and generates electric power.

      Thus, stable operation and protection/control of generator are critical factors necessary for supplying electric power to the power-customer.

      Depending on source of energy, generator is divided into hydro electrical power, thermal electrical power, nuclear electric power, and as renewable energy such as solar and wind power is getting more attention recently. In many electric power facilities protection systems, a field related to generator protection system critically needs experience in high technology and design ability. Also, it is very professional that needs knowledge of generator system itself and know-how in order to commission and engineering.

      Generally, considering the importance of electric power generation facility, protection system configuration is composed of completely independent redundant systematic protection system with 1st protection system and 2nd protection system. Applying protection relay is current differential protection as a main protection function and protects generator rotor and stator by using over-current, over- voltage and negative sequence over current protection element. And for power system stability such as frequency, active/ reactive power, and various other protection elements are used.

      GABO’s generator protection panel has a protection relay (7UMX) made from SIEMENS, in order to guarantee reliability. By having accumulated knowledge in manufacturer technology of protection panel, and experienced professionals, we strive to accomplish noise immunity, stable earthing, durability, insulation, assembly, all of which being incorporated in order to generate products of credibility.

      GENERATOR PROTECTION SYSTEMS CONFIGURATION

      In a generator protection system, composition is different according to the kind of power generation facility, scheme of protection and protection philosophy that has been maintained in each country.
      Generally, main protection is used with a current differential protection between primary and secondary winding for detecting generator’s internal fault. And depending on system configuration and experience in design, main protection zone for generator protection could include stepup transformer.
      Considering performance and reliability of system, redundant system composed of first protection and second protection has been used.

      FLEXIBILITY OF FIELDS APPLIED

      A generator protection panel with application of 7UM8 developed by SIEMENS could be used in not only generator protection but also in motor, shunt reactor and transformer protection.
      Thus, it could be used in a protection of electric power generation facility with step-up transformer, also in pumped storage power plant having characteristics of generator and motor, guarantee to provide economy and credibility of system.

      CURRENT DIFFERENTIAL PROTECTION CHARACTERISTICS

      Depending on ratio between differential current and restraint current, it is divided into trip area and non-trip area. In restraint current, stable restraint characteristics is provided considering current transformer error, synchronization error, and CT saturation. Differential current protection function provides distinguished trip characteristics in order to detect a phase-to-earth fault and a phase-to-phase fault of a power generator.
