Analysis of Common Faults in the Generator Excitation System of Hydropower Station
The generator excitation system,as an important component of hydropower stations,is mainly used to provide adjustable DC voltage and current to the excitation winding of synchronous generators,which has a significant impact on the normal operation of the entire hydropower station.Once the excitation system of the generator malfunctions,the relay protection device cannot act in a timely manner,which will cause serious damage to equipment such as the power cabinet,excitation main circuit,and rotor winding,threatening the safe operation of hydropower stations and power systems.Therefore,it is very important to analyze common faults in the large generator excitation system of hydropower stations.
