Relay Protection in Metallurgical Substations
Relay protection is essential to ensure the stability, reliability, and safety of electrical power systems. At the core of a modern substation lies the protection relay: an intelligent electronic device (IED) that plays a critical role in maintaining the stability of the power grid by continuously monitoring voltage, current, frequency, and phase angle. Generator protection covers: phase-to-phase short circuits in stator windings, stator ground faults, inter-turn short circuits in stator windings, external short circuits, symmetrical overload, stator overvoltage, single- and double-point grounding in the excitation circuit, and loss of excitation. Then, due to the particularity of historical statistical data, a weight calculation method combining analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and entropy weight method is adopted to eliminate subjective factors in the weight calculation process.
