Detecting The Loss Of Excitation In Hydro Generators Using A Neuro-Fuzzy Technique

摘要

This research explores the impact of using the 3rd harmonics and the positive sequence components on enhancing the performance of the circuits for the detection of Loss of Excitation (LOE) in hydro-generators. In this context, investigations were conducted on a two hydro-generators power station model under a complete Loss of Excitation (LOE) conditions, and a partial Loss of Excitation (LOE) conditions in different generator loading conditions. The results of the investigations are compared with those obtained using other techniques to prove the effectiveness of the proposed solution. The time-domain simulation studies were conducted using PSCAD/EMTDC software. The results obtained are very promising
