A STUDY INTO A NEW SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED WITH POLE SLIPPING PROTECTION

Pole slipping of synchronous generators operating in parallel with a u tility supply system is a complex phenomenon. This paper provides an o verview of a new solution for pole slipping protection, together with a review of conventional techniques. Immediate advantages of the new a pproach are that it simplifies relay settings sad avoids the need for extensive simulation studies. Results from simulation studies and fiel d tests are used to demonstrate the performance of these systems. The new technique is shown to offer a significant improvement in performan ce over conventional schemes.
