PSG Unit3 Motor Protection

The document discusses generator capability curves and the limits that determine a generator's reactive power output. There are three parameters that limit reactive power: 1. Armature current limit - The generator's reactive power output is limited by the maximum current the armature windings can carry without overheating, forming a circle on the P-Q plane. 2. Field current limit - The generator's reactive power output is also limited by the maximum field current to maintain sufficient excitation, represented by equations relating field current to real and reactive power. 3. End region heat limit - The generator's reactive power is limited during under-excited conditions to prevent overheating of the field windings at the ends of the poles.

Generator Capability Curve


Synchronous generators are rated in terms of the maximum MVA output at a
specified voltage and power factor (usually 0.85 or 0.9 lagging) which they can
carry continuously without overheating
There are two powers
1. Real power
2. Reactive power
Real power is limited by prime mover capability.
Reactive power is limited by three parameters.
Armature current limit
Field current limit
End region heat limit

1.) ARMATURE CURRENT LIMIT:

Complex power, S= P+jQ


S=

It *Vt

S= | It || Vt | [cos i sin ]
Graph is drawn between real and real power.
Where, P= real power,
Q= reactive power,
= phasor angle,
r= radius of the power angle
In the P-Q plane the armature current
limit, as shown in Fig, appears as a
circle with centre at the origin and
radius equal to the MVA rating

2.) FIELD CURRENT LIMIT:


It is limited by following two equations for real and reactive power.

P | It || Vt | cos
Xad
P
It sin j
Xas
Q | It || Vt | sin
Q

Xad
It ^ 2

Xs

Thus the field current can also be limited by reducing Rfd


Ifd^2 in reactive power.
above equations represents the field
current limit using It.

3.) END REGION HEAT LIMIT:


End region heat can be limited only during the under excited condition.
