Abstract
A method for minimizing trips in a power generating asset prior to synchronization includes providing a dynamic trip threshold to a protection scheme of the power generating asset and modifying the dynamic trip threshold prior to and after synchronization of the power generating asset to minimize the trips in the power generating asset caused by the protection scheme of the power generating asset.
Claims20
A method for minimizing trips in a power generating asset prior to synchronization, the method comprising:
- providing a dynamic trip threshold to a protection scheme of the power generating asset;
- and
- modifying the dynamic trip threshold prior to and after synchronization of the power generating asset to minimize the trips in the power generating asset caused by the protection scheme of the power generating asset.
A power generating asset, comprising:
- a generator;
- and
- a controller comprising a processor, the processor being programmed with a protection scheme defining a dynamic trip threshold configured to minimize trips in the power generating asset prior to synchronization, the processor configured to perform one or more operations, the one or more operations comprising modifying the dynamic trip threshold prior to and after synchronization of the power generating asset to minimize the trips in the power generating asset caused by the protection scheme of the power generating asset.
A method for minimizing trips in a power generating asset prior to synchronization, the method comprising:
- providing a first trip threshold and a second trip threshold to a protection scheme of the power generating asset, the first trip threshold corresponding to a pre-synchronization state of the power generating asset, the second trip threshold corresponding to a post-synchronization state of the power generating asset;
- and
- implementing the first trip threshold during the pre-synchronization state of the power generating asset and the second trip threshold during the pre-synchronization state of the power generating asset to minimize the trips in the power generating asset prior to synchronization.
