POWER PLANTS MONITORING FOR REVERSE POWER FLOW EVALUATION

Abstract

Power plant generators are important components of an electrical energy system. They should be constantly monitored and protected in order to maintain the quality and reliability of the power supply. Otherwise, generators may occur in case of faults or incorrect operation. One of them is reverse power condition. Reverse power flow can be cause important problems if it is not considered in the protection system design

Keywords

• Power plants, reverse power flow, generator protection, , digital fault recorder
