When components need safeguarding, protection systems provide fast and reliable fault detection and reaction. Protection systems prevent potential causes of major damage such as shutdowns and the incorrect synchronization of generator to grid. Unfortunately, many installed systems are no longer adequately able to cope with protection tasks, and their maintenance is becoming increasingly difficult.
Siemens Energy offers a unit power plant protection and synchronization solution that allows for the replacement of the unit and power system protection, as well as the replacement of the synchronization system. The package uses modern grid protection methodologies, including distance protection schemes, that satisfy the most sophisticated requirements when it comes to response precision.
