Excitation system is an important part of generator that is used to inject the exciting current into rotor to establish the magnetic field. The excitation system need to maintain the generator voltage level and is required to act on power system static and transient conditions.
NR provides microprocessor-based excitation system to improve generator performance and reduce maintenance costs. It offers comprehensive control strategies for different applications, such as power system stabilizer, optimum control or adaptive control, etc. It also can be customized to meet the various specifications of specific project. The current rating is available from 100A up to 7000A and the voltage rating is available from 100V up to 700V.
Features
Easy for upgrading or repair.
Maintaining the normal operation of the excitation system by fault tolerant control
Dual sets or multiply sets configuration to improve reliability of the whole control system
Seamless coordination between operation curve and excitation loss protection
Providing accesses to SAS or RTU via Ethernet network ports and serial ports
Complete event recording function
Powerful fault and disturbance recording function
Large capacity synchronous machines need speed control during startup to improve efficiency and reduce cost. To solve these problems, NR brings its Static Frequency Converter(SFC) solution to realize smooth startup of generators for pumped storage power plant, gas turbine power plant and some industrial enterprises.
NR’s SFC system can effectively adjust motor speed by injecting the variable-frequency current into the stator winding of synchronous machine to produce a varying magnetic flux. It can detect the initial position of rotor without any external sensor.
Features
Cutting-edge rising speed control tactics to guarantee successful and smooth startup process.
Series-parallel hybrid air flue design for more efficient cooling effect for high-voltage valve bridge.
Redundant and reliable protection scheme with one separate protection and another embedded in SFC controller.
Innovative various frequency differential protection for converter bridge and transformer to guarantee reliability, selectivity and rapidity of protection.
Automatic, seamless and smart interface switch design for easy realizing redundant SFC scheme, especially for refurbishment or upgrade of existing old SFC project.
