- Abstract
The most common protection scheme for synchronous generators against stator windings fault is the differential protection scheme. In this paper, a new voltage-controlled overcurrent protection scheme is proposed as a backup protection method for the differential protection method. This scheme is designed to operate in conditions in which differential protection fails to do so and is implemented by fuzzy controllers. The fuzzy controllers set the plug setting of the overcurrent relay. In the proposed method, the fault conditions can be determined regardless of variations of voltage and the current of terminal in different operating states of the synchronous generator. This is realized by measuring not only the terminal voltages and currents of the generator, which are usually used in conventional voltage-controlled overcurrent protection schemes but also other variables that promote the accuracy of the proposed scheme. For presenting this protection method, a synchronous generator with internal fault model is used. The fault model is based on the direct-phase representation that uses the conventional and readily available machine data. Simulations for various types of stator faults of synchronous generator validate the proposed method. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
