    Abstract: The present application discloses systems and methods related to protection of a reactor in an alternating current (AC) electric power system. In one embodiment, a system may include a protective action subsystem to implement a protective action based on identification of a fault condition associated with a reactor. A frequency determination subsystem may determine when a frequency of the AC voltage is outside of a range defined by a lower threshold and an upper threshold and may identify a change in the frequency associated with de-energization of a line in electrical communication with the reactor. A supervisory subsystem may restrain implementation of the protective action when the frequency is outside of the range or when the change in the frequency is associated with de-energization of the line in electrical communication with the reactor.

    Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to devices, systems, and methods for monitoring a generator. In one embodiment, the system may include a measurement subsystem to receive a plurality of split-phase measurements of branch currents associated with the at least one generator. A split-phase transverse differential monitoring subsystem may receive the plurality of split-phase measurements of branch currents associated with the at least one generator and may generate an offset value representing a standing split-phase current. A protective action subsystem may generate a first protective action based on the phasor operating current.

    Abstract: Protection devices prevent damage to synchronous generators during loss-of-field events. In various embodiments, a first protective element is associated with a first protection zone to protect a generator from a loss-of-field event at full load. A second protective element is associated with a second protection zone to prevent thermal overload during underexcited operation of the generator and to protect from loss-of-filed at light load. A third protective element associated with a third protection zone limits operation of the generator within the generator's specific steady-state stability limits. A fourth protective element is associated with a fourth protection zone to provide an alarm prior to operation of the second protective element. In various embodiments, characteristics and limits of each of the protective elements are defined in the same plane (specifically, the P-Q plane) to simplify settings and allow for visualization of the element characteristics and the generator capability curve at one or more temperatures or cooling capacities.

    Abstract: Systems and Methods are disclosed for providing measurement data redundancy to intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) in an electric power system, without additional redundant components. In various embodiments, a first measurement device obtains measurement data from a first portion of the electric power delivery system. A second measurement device obtains measurement data from a second portion of the electric power delivery system. A first IED monitors the first portion of the electric power delivery system based on measurement data associated with the first portion of the electric power delivery system, and a second IED monitors the second portion of the electric power delivery system based on measurement data associated with the second portion of the electric power delivery system. Assuming the first and second portions are coordinated, a communication system dynamically routes measurement data from the second measurement device to the first IED upon a failure of receiving digital measurements from the first measurement device.

    Abstract: Protection of an electrical generator includes determining a rotor and stator components using rotor and stator electrical signals, calculating a unbalance and/or differential component using the stator and rotor components, and determining a stator or rotor fault based on the unbalance and/or differential component. Further, the faulted phase and/or zone of a stator fault may be determined using the stator positive sequence voltage and negative sequence current.

    Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods for monitoring and protecting an electric power system. In one embodiment, a system may comprise line-mounted wireless current transformers to measure at least one parameter of an alternating current (AC), receive a synchronization signal at which to measure the AC, and send a message comprising the measured AC. The system may also comprise an intelligent electronic device (IED) to send the synchronization signal to and receive the messages from the line-mount wireless current transformers, determine whether a high-impedance fault (HiZ) exists between the line-mounted wireless current transformers, and implement a control action based on the existence of the HiZ fault.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a variety of systems and methods related to detection of a cross-country fault in an electrical power system. In one embodiment, a system consistent with the present disclosure may be configured to monitor electrical parameters in the electrical power system. The system may determine when a voltage magnitude of one phase exceeds a first voltage threshold. The one phase that exceeds the first voltage threshold may be identified as an un-faulted phase. The system may further be configured to determine that the voltage magnitude of the un-faulted phase exceeds a second threshold based on a zero-sequence voltage. The system may further be configured to determine that a phase angle between the un-faulted phase and the zero-sequence voltage is within a range. A protective action to clear the cross-country fault condition may be implemented upon identification of a cross-country fault.
