Working principle and function of generator protection system

Working principle of generator protection system

Generator protection is the safe operation of the generator, which plays a decisive role in ensuring the normal operation of the power system and the quality of electric energy. At the same time, the generator itself is also a very valuable electrical equipment. Therefore, a relay protection device with perfect performance should be installed to deal with various faults and abnormal working conditions.

The working principle of the generator protection system mainly includes the following aspects:

1. Signal acquisition: The generator voltage, current, frequency, phase sequence, vibration, temperature and other signals are collected through sensors or detectors, converted into electrical signals, and transmitted to the protection device controller.

2. Signal processing: The controller processes the received electrical signals, analyzes them, filters them, and other operations to obtain relevant information about the operating status of the generator and identify any abnormal conditions that occur.

3. Fault diagnosis: Based on the electrical signal processing results obtained in step 2, the generator protection system performs fault diagnosis to determine whether any abnormal conditions such as overload, overtemperature, overcurrent, low voltage, high voltage, short circuit, etc. occur.

4. Control output: If the generator protection system determines that an abnormality has occurred, it will execute corresponding protection measures, cut off the fault circuit, stop power supply, and display relevant alarm information on the operation screen to notify the operator.

5. Data storage: To facilitate troubleshooting and analysis, the generator protection system will store data such as equipment operating status and fault information in relevant storage units.

In general, the working principle of the generator protection system includes signal acquisition, signal processing, fault judgment, control output and data storage. By monitoring and protecting the generator, it can avoid abnormalities or failures during operation of the generator and ensure the reliability and stability of the equipment.

The role of generator protection system

The generator protection system is an electrical device that protects the safe and normal operation of the generator. Its main functions are as follows:

1. Prevent overload: The generator protection system can detect the load condition and working status of the generator. When the load is too large, it will promptly issue an alarm and take corresponding safety protection measures, such as reducing the load, cutting off the power supply, etc.

2. Prevent short circuit: The generator protection system can monitor the current, voltage and other signals occurring in the circuit, and stop the power supply in time if a short circuit is detected.

3. Prevent overvoltage and undervoltage: The generator protection system can monitor the changes in generator voltage, judge abnormal conditions such as overvoltage and undervoltage, and adjust the output voltage of the generator through the controller in time to keep it within a safe range.

4. Prevent faults: The generator protection system can detect the working status of the generator and the temperature, vibration and other conditions during the operation of the equipment, monitor and analyze them, and take protective measures in time when a fault is found to ensure the reliable operation of the equipment.

5. Improve equipment reliability: The generator protection system can inspect, diagnose and monitor the equipment, improve the safety, reliability and stability of the equipment, reduce the possibility of accidents, and thus ensure the stability and reliability of power supply.

To sum up, the generator protection system is an important electrical protection device that can provide all-round protection and monitoring for the generator, improve the safety, stability and reliability of the equipment, ensure the continuity and stability of power supply, and play an important role in the normal operation of the power supply system.
