Field trials to demonstrate the performance of a new pole slipping protection

This paper presents a new approach to pole slipping protection which eliminates the need for simulations, thus greatly simplifying the setting process. The new adaptive algorithm uses power measurements to ascertain if the generator is committed to a pole slip. In doing so it offers the prospect of detecting the pole slip before it occurs. The paper shows that this new approach works successfully by using results from field trials performed on an industrial diesel generator
