Question 1 You are a consulting engineer working in Power Systems
Protection. You are required to analyse and assess the protection system
for two Eskom power Stations located next to each other in Kriel,
Mpumalnga Province, as well as the protection system on a potential
distribution network the company plans to build. 1. Name and give a brief
overview of these two Power Stations. Also highlight the similarities and
differences including ratings, technology, applicable protection at power
stations such as these, etc. (20)
The two power stations located in Kriel, Mpumalanga Province, are the Kriel Power Station
and the Matla Power Station. Here's a brief overview of each, along with their similarities and
differences:
1. Kriel Power Station:
Overview: Kriel Power Station is a coal-fired power plant operated by Eskom.
It is located near the town of Kriel in Mpumalanga Province, South Africa.
The power station consists of six coal-fired generating units with a total
capacity of approximately 3,000 megawatts (MW).
Technology: Kriel Power Station employs pulverized coal combustion
technology to generate electricity. This involves grinding coal into a fine
powder and then burning it in a boiler to produce steam, which drives turbines
connected to generators.
Protection System: The protection system at Kriel Power Station includes
various relay and protection schemes to safeguard equipment such as
generators, transformers, switchgear, and transmission lines. This includes
overcurrent protection, differential protection, distance protection, and
synchronization protection, among others.
2. Matla Power Station:
