Other Intertie Protection Consideration
Other Intertie Protection Consideration
Power system is capable of operating within thermal limits with DG exporting power to the system A setting of about 10% above the export power limit should be applied to protect against such a overload Case of larger DG out-of-step relaying may be applied as part of the intertie relaying An energy sources that independent of power system voltage is required to trip CB during fault condition
Induction generators
An induction motor that are driven above synchronous speed to generate electric power It is possible for an induction generator to become self-excited if :
capacitors exist within the isolated system to provide a source of excitation the isolated load is within the proximity of its rating
But..
Cont
When self-excitation occurs it is accompanied by a sudden increase in terminal voltage and cause damage to electrical equipment Such installation, application of an undervoltage relay, anti-islanding relay and overvoltage relay should be provided
Cont
It is important that the protection specialists who represent the various entities take an active role in this process and provide input to assure all pertinent protection issues identified and considered
Every power system and generation facility has some of its own unique characteristics. Engineers working directly with these systems on a continual basis are in the best position to identify hazards, concerns, and challenges as they relate to the specific system characteristics
