Loss of excitation of synchronous generator

Abstract: This paper presents results of study of loss-of-excitation phenomena simulations. Loss of excitation is a very common fault in synchronous machine operating and can be caused by short circuit of the field winding, unexpected field breaker open or loss-of-excitation relay mal-operation. According to the statistic [1], the generator failure due to loss-of-excitation accounts for 69 % of all generator failures. There has been concern over possible incorrect operation of the relay when operating the generator in t… Show more

“…The LOE is a frequent fault in synchronous machine operating, and based on the statistic; it accounts for 69% of all generator failures. The excitation source can be partially or entirely fail due to a short circuit in the field winding, accidental field breaker opening, and a breakdown in the excitation system [31], [37]- [39].…”

“…This may also results in overloading of transmission lines/transformers and miss-operation of over current relay by considering overloading as fault. In addition to this, in parallel operating generators after LOE the non-fault machines start to increase the reactive power production which leads to a severe damage to the grid [22], [24].…”

“…Thus the excitation system keeps the generator in synchronous with the grid. The occurrence of outages in excitation systems may induce abnormal operating consequences [22], [23].…”

“…They are very important during operation under high temperatures, such as those described in [22] by Sławi ński et al, where the temperature reached 800 • C. Axial-flow microturbines use synchronous generators to convert kinetic energy into electric energy [23]. These are commonly used devices; however, they sometimes fail: 69% of all failures in generators can be attributed to loss-of-excitation, which causes a significant increase in speed and their instability [24]. A small number of papers on the fatigue analysis of axial-flow microturbines have been published, and few of them concern methodology for calculating such devices and the typical hazards associated with their operation.…”
