GENERATOR STATOR AND ROTOR PROTECION SYSTEM

The Mettur Thermal Power Station consists of Four Units with a Generation of
840MW.Each Generator having a capacity of 210MW, 15.75KV, 3 Phase Output. The
Continuous Generation of the Power from Generator, winding temperature of the Generator
coil will be increased. Non Conductivity Water is used to reduce the Generator Winding
temperature. This water system is known as Stator water system. The stator water system
includes measurements of the Water Conductivity, Quantity of water flow to inside the
generator winding, inlet water pressure, winding temperature and Level in water storage
Tank.
The existing system makes use of individuals hard wires with Relay Logic and
Electrical Contactors then individual monitoring system process complicates the present system.
In this project manual monitoring is replaced by automation by an embedded based Technology,
making use of PIC Microcontroller, thus making the process easier and Compact.
Any decrease in water level, increase in water conductivity, decrease in water pressure and
changes in quantity of water flow can be rectified by sending appropriate signals to the
microcontroller and activating the corresponding actions so as to normalize the values.
The H2 gas is used to reduce the rotor temperature of the rotating rotor. The increase in
temperature of H2 gas, the purity of the H2 gas will be reduced from 100% purity. The purity of
H2 gas is below 95% the moisture of the rotor body is increased. In this case the Cooling water is
used to reduce the temperature the temperature of the H2 gas system. The Pressure of the Cooling
water system is controlled by the actuator.
