Description

ABB REG670

Technical Specifications:

  • Series: Relion 670.
  • Protection Scope: Complete generator protection including differential, stator earth fault, rotor earth fault, and loss-of-field.
  • Communication: IEC 61850 Ed 2.0, PRP/HSR, IEEE 1588 v2.

Functional Features:

  • 100% Stator Earth Fault Protection: Combines fundamental and third-harmonic voltage principles.
  • Thermal Modeling: Advanced thermal replica for precise generator winding and core temperature estimation.
  • Condition Monitoring: Partial discharge, torsional vibration, and air-gap monitoring capabilities.
  • Redundancy: Hot-standby CPU and redundant power supplies (optional).

Application Scenarios:

  • Utility-scale thermal, hydro, and nuclear power plants.
  • Large industrial cogeneration and combined-cycle plants.
  • Critical backup generation facilities.

Material Composition & Structural Characteristics:

  • Redundant Hardware: Dual-core processing and redundant I/O paths for maximum availability.
  • High-Speed Sampling: Precision analog front-end for accurate differential and harmonic analysis.

Working Principle:
Continuously monitors all electrical and mechanical parameters of the generator. Utilizes multi-principle protection algorithms to ensure secure fault detection while maintaining absolute stability during external faults and system transients.

Installation Requirements:

  • Requires meticulous CT/VT wiring and polarity verification.
  • Commissioning must be performed by certified ABB protection engineers.
  • Integrate with the plant DCS and protection management system prior to synchronization.

Usage Precautions:

  • Never bypass critical generator protection functions during operation.
  • Regularly validate the thermal model using actual RTD measurements.
