Description / Abstract:
This document describes guidelines for online monitoring of
large synchronous generators with ratings of 10 MVA and above. The
scope includes generators with salient-pole rotors as well as
generators with cylindrical rotors.
This standard also provides basic information on the various
online monitoring techniques described as well as recommended
threshold values for initiating a remedial or compensating action,
whenever those values are typical within the power generation
industry.
This standard does not cover those instruments that are clearly
associated with the protection scheme of the generator, such as:
differential, out-of-step, over/under frequency, and so forth.
Purpose
The purpose of this guide is to
a) Describe mechanisms of degradation and applicable monitoring
devices.
b) Describe methods available for online monitoring of large
synchronous generators included within the scope of this
standard.
c) Recommend which of the online monitoring techniques described
in this standard ought to be adopted based on machine type.
d) Recommend monitored threshold values for initiating remedial
or compensating actions when widely agreed industry practice
exists.
