Real time generator monitoring system Academic Article

abstract

• This paper describes a prototype of an intelligent generator monitoring system, developed jointly by Texas A&M University and Houston Lighting & Power company The monitoring system is based on a high performance front-end data acquisition system and real-time processing of electrical signals from CTs and PTs, as well as contacts from related protective relays, circuit breakers, and switches. Based on this data, the system performs continuous monitoring of the electrical part of the generator and informs operators of any deviations from the normal operating conditions. As a result, performance of protection relays as well as related control and switching equipment can be evaluated. The system is implemented using a PC interfaced to a modified commercial digital fault recorder.
