Protection of Three Phase Synchronous Generator

Abstract

Steam power plant is an important part of the system therefore a lot of intention is paid for protecting it against electrical fault in order to reduce system outages. Earlier conventional protection such as electromagnetic and static relay was used for protection but they are relatively slow, vulnerable to the surrounding environment. Modern protection based on microprocessor is developed to replace the conventional relays which offer additional benefits such more stable, speedy, and multi-function. In this research a numerical protection is developed for synchronous generator including relay setting and microcontroller programming.
