• Differential Protection of Generator or Alternator. Any internal fault inside the stator winding is cleared by mainly differential protection scheme of the generator or alternator. The differential protections provided in the generator by using differential relay.
• Differential protection for a generator is mainly employed for the protection of stator windings of generator against earth faults and phase-to-phase faults. The stator winding faults are very dangerous, and it causes considerable damage to the generator. For the protection of stator winding of the generator, the differential protection system is used for clearing the fault in the shortest possible time for minimizing the extent of a damage.

• There are two sets of identical current transformers each set is mounted on either side of the stator phase windings. The secondary's of the current transformer are connected in star, and their end point is connected to the pilot wires. The relay coils are connected in star, their neutral points are connected to the common point of the current transformers neutral, and the outer ends one to each of three pilot wires.

• Consider an earth fault occurs on the phase R due to the breakdown of the insulation to earth. Due to the fault, the current in the secondary of the current transformers in phase R will become unequal. The difference of the two currents will flow through the corresponding relay coil, and it will give tripping command to the circuit breaker.

• When the machine delivering the equal currents in three phases, no unbalance or negative phase sequence current is produced as the vector sum of these currents is zero, when the generator is supplying an unbalanced load to a system, a negative phase sequence current is imposed on the generator. The system unbalance may be due to opening of lines, breaker failures or system faults.
• The negative sequence current in the stator winding creates a magnetic flux wave in the air gap which rotates in opposite direction to that of rotor synchronous speed.
Generator NEGATIVE SEQUENCE & Unbalanced loading

High Pressure Cogeneration for Sugar Sector in Pakistan
• This flux induces currents in the rotor body, wedges, retaining rings at twice the line frequency. Heating occurs in these areas and the resulting temperatures depend upon the level and duration of the unbalanced currents. Under these conditions it is possible to reach temperatures at which the rotor material no longer contain the centrifugal forces imposed on them resulting in serious damage to the turbine-generator set. Any machine as per design data will permit some level of negative sequence currents for continuous period.

• The loss of excitation is the accidental loss of connectivity or DC supply voltage to the rotor field winding.
• This can be a disaster with violent vibrations (slipping a pole) or rotor heating (running as a synchronous machine).
• There is a special relay to protects again loss of excitation and disable the machine.
• In addition, if the field excitation circuit is disconnected suddenly, massive arcing will occur (due the high inductance of the field winding)
Loss of Excitation

High Pressure Cogeneration for Sugar Sector in Pakistan
• excitation in a generator. Failure of excitation that is failure of field system in the generator makes the generator run at a speed above the synchronous speed. In that situation the generator or alternator becomes an induction generatorwhich draws magnetizing current from the system. Although this situation does not create any problem in the system immediately but over loading of the stator and overheating of the rotor due to continuous operation of the machine in this mode may create problems in the system in long-run. Therefore special care should be taken for rectifying the field or excitation system of the generator immediately after failure of that system. The generator should be isolated from rest of the system till the field system is properly restored.

• Under frequency refers to a condition where the frequency of the AC supply drops to a value that is lower than its defined value such as 50 Hz or 60 Hz. Under frequency is usually caused by overloading a power source or problems with a prime mover such as engines or turbines.
The following are some of the effects of under frequency
High flux density in electric machinery, thereby causing higher magnetizing currents.
• High core loss and over-heating of the machines and possible failure.• Lower efficiency• Reduction in speed• The fault level increases due to reduced reactance
Under frequency situations can be avoided by the installation of under frequency relays which isolate systems and machinery in the event of an under frequency.
Under frequency protection

• over frequency occurs when the RPM of prime mover goes above the rated speed. This protection is basically for prime mover and gives a trip signal to the prime mover in case of over speed so that the centrifugal forces don't damage the prime mover and alternator rotor. This is generally a result of faulty speed governor or sudden throw off or throw in of large magnitude..
• Full or partial load rejection can lead to over speed of the generator, and hence, over frequency operation. In general, over frequency operation does not pose any serious problems and control action can be taken to reduce the generator speed and frequency to normal without tripping the generator. Generators are shipped with over speed detectors
Over frequency protection

High Pressure Cogeneration for Sugar Sector in Pakistan
• Generator overvoltage may occur during a load rejection or excitation control failure. In case of hydro generators, upon load rejection the generator may speed up and the voltage can reach high levels without necessarily exceeding the generator’s V/Hz limit. The overvoltage relay (59) is used to protect the generator from this condition.
• An over voltage on the terminals of the generator can damage the insulator of the generator, bus ducting, breakers, generator transformer and auxiliary equipment. Hence over voltage protection should be provided for machines of all sizes.
Over Voltage Protection

• Over fluxing is a dangerous situation in which the magnetic flux density increases to extremely high levels. The high flux density can induce excessive eddy currents in the windings and in other conductive parts inside the transformers.
• Hence it comes under electromagnetic device. It receives 3 phase ac electrical supply to its armature winding and DC supply is provided to rotor winding. Synchronous motor excitation refers to the DC supply given to rotor which is used to produce the required magnetic flux.

• The Reverse power relay is used to protect a synchronous generator, running in parallel, from motoring. Motoring occurs due to the failure of the prime mover such as a turbine or an engine driving a generator that is connected to the grid. The generator which is running at the synchronous speed will continue to run at the same speed. However, the power required to keep the Gen running along with the prime mover will be drawn from the main, hence power flows in the reverse direction i.e. bus to generator. This condition is called reverse power.
• The reverse power relay operates by measuring the active component of the load current, I x cos φ. When the generator is supplying power, the I x cos φ is positive, in a reverse power situation it turns negative. If the negative value exceeds the set point of the relay, the relay trips the generator breaker after the preset time delay.

• The Rotor Protection relay is used in synchronous motors and generators to identify the presence of an earth fault in the rotor winding. While the winding in the rotor is insulated from the ground during normal operation, the Rotor is subjected to stresses due to vibration, heat, etc. These stresses can cause the winding to give way in a particular place and the winding can get earthed.

High Pressure Cogeneration for Sugar Sector in Pakistan
• While a single earthing in the winding is not immediately damaging. It sets the stage for damage if a second failure should occur. The second earthing can cause a short-circuit through the rotor causing extensive damage to the rotor and the winding.
The currents produced during a rotor earth fault can cause excessive vibration and disturb the magnetic balance inside the alternator. These forces can cause the rotor shaft to become eccentric and in extreme cases cause bearing failure.
Hence, it is necessary that any earthing in the rotor is detected at the earliest.
In slip ring rotors, carbon deposits on the slip rings may compromise the insulation resistance of the rotor. Hence, the slip rings need to be inspected for any deposits.
The Rotor Earth Fault Protection Device consists of a current injection device which applies an AC voltage to the rotor winding by means of a slip ring fitted on the rotor. The current is applied to the rotor through a coupling capacitor. In the normal condition, the system is floating and the current flowing through the device is zero as the resistance is high.
When a fault occurs, the current increases causing the relay to operate. The relay can be configured for alarm or trip depending on the criticality.

• Pole slip, also known as ‘out of step’ is a phenomenon caused either by low excitation, a faulty regulator or abrupt changes of load within the mains. It can cause severe mechanical stresses within the generator, putting winding at risk, causing shaft damage or adversely affecting the control operating system. Very high currents can cause thermal instability and ultimately lead to complete destruction of the generator and massive instability on the grid.
• Conventional protection, such as overcurrent, vector shift and ROCOF is not sufficient as it doesn’t respond quickly enough and is unreliable where large load jumps develop and cause oscillations.
