GENERATOR TREATMENT


Generator
Abnormal operation: generator cannot operate continuously at rated parameter because of equipment, main electrical measuring instrument and relay protection exit operation.
a.       overload of generator
1.       The system message for “generator overload alarm";
2.       The current of stator and rotor exceed the rated value, the rotor voltage exceed the normal value;
3.       The frequency and voltage of generator reduce;
4.       active and reactive load exceed normal value.
1.       over load treatment of generator:
1.       Contact with turbine department to reduce the inlet air temperature; monitor the generator temperature.
2.       Reduce the exciting current, generator power factor should be less than specified value, at same time avoid the generator bus voltage is too low.
If the above methods cannot solve the problem of overload, should reduce the active load of generator to normal value.
2. treatment of temperature of stator coil and iron core exceed the specified value:
1.       check whether the generator overload;
2.       contact turbine department to check whether the cooling water of air cooler is normal;
3.       cooperate with thermal operator to check whether the meters are normal;
4.       when check and handle the temperature increasing, must reduce the generator output, ask instructions from shift leader. If the meters and cooling water are normal, taking measure fails, report to shift leader, continuous to reduce load until shutdown.
5.       If the temperature of generator coil and iron core increase rapidly, handling failure and air temperature is abnormal, should request shutdown as soon as possible.
3.    The phenomenon and hazard of excitation system grounding connection:
1.       The generator control panel display "excitation loop earthing" and “two points of rotor loop erating signal device” acts;
2.       rotor current (exciting current) increase violently.
3.       reactive load of generator reduce;
4.       generator vibrates violently;
5.       Voltage of stator and rotor reduce.

Disconnection of generator PT:
1.       The voltage of disconnection phase reduce or reduce to zero;
2.       value of active and reactive load reduce;
3.       Three-phase stator current, excitation voltage, and current are in normal condition;
4.       ”Microcomputer alarming: "the disconnection of generator PT".
The disconnection of generator CT:
Phenomenon:
1.       open circuit phase current reduce, active and reactive indication reduce;
2.       The voltage of generator and voltage and current are in normal condition.
Cannot increase voltage of generator: after the generator gets rated speed, according to the operation procedure, switch on excitation power, no indication or change of AC/DC meters of generator exciting panel when magnetic increasing and magnetic reducing.
Treatment:
1.       stop voltage increasing, exit the excitation operation;
2.       check voltage meter, if the excitation rotor loop is disconnected;
3.       check whether the excitation suppression switch close.
4.       check whether the generator PT and excitation PT are intact; check whether knife gate close;
5.       check whether the primary insurance of excitation transformer is intact;
6.       check whether the connection of generator brush is in good condition.
          The treatment for generator accident
Generator nonsynchronous parallel: when the generator synchronization and main switch on, rotor current rise suddenly, lead to strong impact, meters of rotor current, voltage, active power, reactive power vibrate severely, cause the unit vibration.
    reasons:
1.       fail to meet the conditions of synchronous parallel;
2.       wrong connection at high voltage side of generator and PT;
3.       synchronous inspection relay or synchronoscope failure;
4.       wrong connection of PT secondary loop or nonsynchronous loop;
5.       Speed governing system of turbine is instable, the operation of operator is not proper.
treatment:
1.       Disconnect generator switch and excitation suppression switch; disconnect generator with system and generator shut down.
2.       After unit shutdown, check whether there is deformation of generator end coil and measure the insulation of stator winding.
3.       Check whether there is damage of main switch; check whether connection of voltage secondary loop, synchronous device and DC power supply are correct.
4.       After check, no abnormal or misoperation, report to shift leader, parallel again.
Loss of synchronization due to generator oscillation:
1.       Rotor current exceed normal value and current pointer swing strongly;
2.       Motor voltage decrease and pointer swing strongly;
3.       Pointer of active power and reactive power meter swing strongly;
4.       Pointer of rotor voltage meter and current meter swing around normal value;
5.       Rhythmed sound from generator, the rhythm is in step with the above meters;
6.       The leading phase and phase-lag swing of power factor and frequency swings.
    reasons:
1.       system short circuit, nonsynchronous switch on damage the stability of system;
2.       cut a large number of load; trip; speed governing of turbine is instable;
3.       Automatic adjustment excitation device failure.
    treatment:
1、  reduce the active load of generator;
2、  increase excitation current;
3、  Take the above measure, if cannot recover in 15 minutes, should request disconnect generator unit.
Generator protection switch off
1、  rotor current rise, voltage reduce violently;
2、  active and reactive power increase;
3、  the monitor screen message: “generator xx protection   action”
4、  all meter drop to zero with switch off, main switch “switch off” indication light of analog panel is on, and send out speech sounds alarm signal;
5、  Indication of generator protection unit skips position.
reasons:
1、  generator inside failure, such as stator winding short circuit or earthing; two points of rotor earthing; generator on fire and so on;
2、  generator outside failure: such as generator busbar;
3、  thermotechnical accident;
4、  emergency protector action;
5、  operator on duty misoperate;
6、  malfunction of protection device and breaker mechanism.
treatment:
1、  stop automatic excitation device;
2、  send “attention” and “trip” signal to turbine;
3、  if the generator trip due to main protection, such as differential protection trip, should check all equipment in protection zone carefully; check whether relay protection is normal; check there is smoke fog or not in generator air cooling room, open inspection hole of generator housing, check there is smell of scorching, smoking; measure insulation resistance of stator winding; check PT, cable and insulation switch of generator, open the end cap of generator, check end condition of stator winding. If there is no abnormal after the above check, can increase voltage again. If there is no abnormal in the process of increasing voltage, can synchronization, or shutdown to treat;
4、  if trip due to two points of rotor earting protection action, should check all equipment in rotor earthing protection zone, such as insulation resistance that measuring rotor winding. After normal, can increase voltage and parallel again.
5、  if trip due to backup protection such as combined voltage overcurrent protection action, visual inspection for generator, if the reason is electrical system, generator bus or auxiliary power, it is not have to check the generator inside. After generator is insulated from failure, synchronize generator with electric power system.
6、  if trip due to turbine “emergency protector” action, should contact with turbine operator timely, check the reason, if because of malfunction, after reduce speed, synchronize generator with electric power system after recover “emergency protector”.
7、  if trip due to thermotechnical accident, after treatment, synchronize generator with system again.
8、  if it is mistrip, can increase voltage and synchronize generator with system again.
9、  In the above process, report to shift leader timely, and treat according to the order of shift leader.
4Rotor ground fault:
1、  In normal operation, should check whether the earthing brush contact of generator rotor is in good condition, when one point grounding fault, the monitor screen showing "one point of generator rotor ground";
2、  Check excitation cable and slip ring; check whether excitation suppression switch in CCR ground;
3、  Two points of rotor ground, excitation current leap and voltage reduce, reactive load reduce, power factor leading phase, generator body vibration, and two points of rotor ground protection action, generator is disconnected.
4、  Two points of rotor loop ground, is serious accident in power plant, should find the reason and solve it immediately to reduce the losing.
5. Loss of excitation:
1、  Rotor loop is open, current of excitation is zero, voltage increase; when excitation loop is open, rotor voltage is zero;
2、  When generator voltage decrease, rotor current increase, reactive power meter showing zero or minus, power factor is leading phase;
3、  Voltage, current, active power pointer swing, generator loss of synchronization.
6. Generator or exciter firing:
1、  Obvious gas and adjust smell from inspection hole and air cooler;
2、  All meters indicate abnormally;
3、  Gas escape from exciter
4、  Excitation loop meters swing and unstable.
7. Emergency shutdown condition of generator:
1、  Stator core temperature reach 120 and it does not work after adjustment inspection;
2、  Stator coil temperature reach 120 and it does not work after adjustment inspection;
3、  Signal from turbine side, showing "turbine fault, dangerous";
4、  Friction or collision inside the generator, abnormal vibration;
8.Generator is on fire or other hazard threaten person and equipment safety.
