This paper was written by a Working Group of the IEEE Power System Relay Committee to provide guidance to the industry to better coordinate generator protection with generator control. The paper discusses specific calculation methods that can be used to insure generator protection and excitation system control are fully coordinated. It also specifically addresses the coordination of relays with generator full load capability and machine steady state stability limits. Because of recent blackouts, NERC (North American Electric Reliability Council) is developing standards [1-3] for the coordination of generator protection and control. This paper provides practical guidance on providing this coordination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
