Alstom/ GE G30 Generator Protection System

G30 Generator Protection System provides innovative solutions for the protection, control and monitoring of generator assets. Generator protection is critical to maintaining maximum uptime in the generating facility and providing vital protection of the generating unit. From the protection and control of utility generators to ensuring safe interconnection of renewable energy sources, to synchronization and load shedding solutions using advanced automation, GE maximizes asset reliability and operational life.
GE’s advanced generator protection applications significantly reduce installation and maintenance costs by utilizing the Multilin HardFiber IEC 61850 process bus solution.

Built on the industry-leading UR platform, the G30 provides advanced protection for small to medium-sized steam, hydraulic and combustion-turbine generators. The G30 is also well suited for applications where both the generator and transformer are in the same zone of protection, providing the required protection in one device. The G30 provides advanced communication with an integrated managed Ethernet switch, while supporting standard communication protocols including IEC 61850.

G30 Generator Protection System Key Benefits

• Complete protection for small to medium-sized generators and transformers
• Advanced IEC 61850 Ed. 1 and Ed. 2 certified implementation, complete settings via SCL files and flexible process bus support (IEC 61850-9-2LE or IEC 61850-9-2 Hardfiber) ensures interoperability, device managing optimization and reduced cost of ownership
• Routable GOOSE (R-GOOSE) enables GOOSE messages going beyond the substation, which enables wide area protection and control applications
• Combined generator and transformer protection
• Robust network security enabling Critical Infrastructure Protection through user command logging, and dual permission access control
• Application flexibility with multiple I/O options including high density I/O, programmable logic, modularity, and specific customization
• High-speed peer-to-peer communications allowing reduction of relay-to-relay wiring and associated installation costs
• An integrated large, full color display, provides real-time visualization and control of the protected bay, via a bay mimic as well as annunciator functionality and graphical visualization of phasors
