Reverse Power Protection., Theory & Setting .

Reverse Power Protection.

1- Protection against overspend 32G (# 1).


In case of Turbine Failure, the Turbine is tripped and then the
Generator is tripped by operation of reverse power relay to
prevent overspending of the Turbine generator unit.

2- Protection against generator motoring 32G (#2).


-Generator motoring protection is designed for the prime
mover or the system, rather than for the generator.

- With steam turbines, Turbines will overheat on low steam


flow, motoring results from a low input To the Ac Generator,
- When This I/P cant meet all the losses, the deficiency is
supplied by absorbing real power from the system.

- since field excitation should remain the same , the same


reactive power would flow as before motoring , thus, on
motoring the real power will be into the generator, while the
reactive power may be either flowing out or into the
generator

Setting of Reverse Power Relays


Data for setting calculations
-Rated Capacity of Generator -------- 440,000 KVA
-No Load Loss of Generator --------- 1,785 KW
-No Load Loss of Turbine ---------- 1,350 KW
-No Load Loss of TG unit ---------- 3,135 KW
-Permissible Motoring Time ------- 60 Sec.
-Relay Constant ------------------- 1 P.U. = Generator KVA

Setting Of Reveres Power Relay 32G ( #1 )


1- Reverse Power Trip Level
Trip Level < No load loss of TG unit * 0.3
= 3,135 * 0.3
= 940.5 KW
Pick up = Trip level / relay constant
= 941 / 440,000
= 0.0021 P.U.
Setting = - 0.002 P.U. ( 880KW )

2- Reverse Power Trip Delay


Trip Delay < Perm. Motoring time (60 Sec.)
Setting = 50 Cycles (1 Sec.)

Setting Of Reveres Power Relay 32G ( #2 )


1- Reverse Power Trip Level
Trip Level < No load loss of TG unit * 0.5
= 3,135 * 0.5
= 1,568 KW
Pick up = Trip level / relay constant
= 1,568 / 440,000
= 0.004 P.U.
Setting = - 0.004 P.U. ( 1,760KW )

2- Reverse Power Trip Delay


Trip Delay < Perm. Motoring time (60 Sec.)
Setting = 750 Cycles (15 Sec.)
