Abstract
This study describes a support vector machine (SVM)‐based technique for identifying loss‐of‐excitation (LOE) condition in synchronous generators from other disturbances such as external faults and power‐swing conditions. In this new approach, only one zone of LOE is required and the time coordination is reduced significantly. The proposed method is compared with traditional two‐zone impedance method. Several operating conditions within the generator capability are used to verify the generality of the SVM‐based classifier. The proposed classifier identifies an LOE condition in all cases before the impedance enters the larger mho impedance zone. Faults and power‐swing conditions are identified correctly, thereby preventing incorrect operation of the LOE impedance zone.Keywords
