In a conventional substation protection and control scheme, protection is distributed or “de-centralized” among multiple Numerical Protection Relays. These devices typically operate independently, with minimal communication and coordination between them. This series of courses are based on the “Design Guide for Rural Substations”, published by the Rural Utilities Service of the United States Department of Agriculture, RUS Bulletin 1724E-300, June 2001. The. Generator protection covers: phase-to-phase short circuits in stator windings, stator ground faults, inter-turn short circuits in stator windings, external short circuits, symmetrical overload, stator overvoltage, single- and double-point grounding in the excitation circuit, and loss of excitation. Protect and control several assets—such as transformers, buses, lines, and feeders—using a single relay to reduce the device count in your substation. An electrical substation is a critical component that transmits electric power from production to consumption. s alized protection has been researched and developed for decades.
