Application Scenarios

  1. Large thermal / hydropower / gas-fired power stations: main protection for steam, hydro and gas turbines, and complete protection for generator-transformer units
  2. New energy power stations: protection for self-provided synchronous condensers in large photovoltaic, concentrated solar power and wind power plants
  3. Industrial captive power plants: protection for generating units and waste heat units in chemical, oil & gas, metallurgical and paper-making plants
  4. Intelligent digital substations: newly-built smart power plants requiring IEC 61850, process bus and PRP dual-network redundancy
  5. Pumped storage power stations: compatible with unit protection under both power generation and pumping operating conditions without switching CT secondary circuits
