Power Station Protection Design

Energy-from-waste incineration plants are becomingly increasingly essential in the UK for both residential waste management and renewable power generation. Consequently, plant issues can lead not only to loss of export, but also diversion of waste to landfill. We investigated a protection maloperation at one such facility, which had resulted in a site blackout. Our engineer provided a root-cause analysis report, electrical fault level and coordination studies, and helped to recommission the steam turbine generator.
