Relay Protection Setting Calculation and Analysis of Auxiliary Power System for Hydropower Plants

Abstract

The configuration and setting calculation of auxiliary power protection are directly related to the regular and safe operation of the equipments, thereby affecting the security and stability of the power plant. The system features are analyzed in depth according to the operational requirements of auxiliary power system protection in Xiangjiaba hydropower plant ,the system model is built on the basis of the actual project, and a variety of short-circuit current calculations are carried out. At last, the setting of the auxiliary power system relay protection is completed. This thesis also proposes solutions to the emerging problems in the process of protection setting. The results of the setting have been applied to the actual operation and no misoperation or maloperation caused by improper constant setting value has occurred so far in Xiangjiaba hydropower plant.
