Overexcitation Trip Support– City Public Service (CPS) Energy
Prime Partners Engineering (PPE) provided power system protection engineering support to CPS Energy following an unexpected generator trip caused by an overexcitation (volts/hertz) protection operation. PPE performed a comprehensive analysis of relay event data, protection settings, and system conditions to determine the root cause of the event and evaluate the performance of the generator protection scheme.
Based on its findings, PPE developed recommendations to improve system reliability, including relay setting modifications, protection coordination enhancements, and implementation guidance. Working closely with CPS Energy’s engineering and operations teams, PPE helped strengthen generator protection performance and reduce the risk of similar events in the future.
