Abstract
This paper describes a prototype of an intelligent generator monitorin g system, developed jointly by Texas A&M University and Houston Lighti ng & Power company. The monitoring system is based oil a high performa nce front-end data acquisition system and real-time processing of elec trical signals from CTs and PTs, as well as contacts from related prot ective relays, circuit breakers, and switches. Based on this data, the system performs continuous monitoring of the electrical part of the g enerator and informs operators of any deviations from the normal opera ting conditions. As a result, performance of protection relays as well as related control and switching equipment can be evaluated. The syst em is implemented using a PC interfaced to a modified commercial digit al fault recorder.
