Thermal
Background and Challenges
Thermal Power Plants
  • Fast and Reliable Grid Synchronization
    Ensuring rapid and precise synchronization of generating units with the power grid to minimize resource consumption and equipment wear caused by prolonged synchronization waiting periods.
  • Auxiliary Power Supply Reliability
    The reliable operation of auxiliary power systems, which supply high- and low-voltage loads across multiple tiers, is fundamental to the safe and stable operation of the plant. Guaranteeing the continuous supply of auxiliary power is critical to maintaining plant performance.
  • Inrush Current Hazards from Transformer Energization
    In multi-unit power plants, inrush currents generated by the energization of transformers during the restart of a previously shut-down unit (e.g., after maintenance) may lead to maloperation of protection systems, posing serious risks to online generating units.
Overview

Leveraging over 80% market share in the synchronization field and industry-leading technology in fast transfer systems, our company delivers an integrated solution of “Precise Synchronization + Seamless Transfer + Intelligent Inrush Suppression.”


This comprehensive approach covers critical application scenarios such as generator synchronization, auxiliary power switching, and auxiliary equipment drive systems. It ensures zero-interruption power supply, low transient impact, and extended service life of the electrical system.


Key Technologies
  • Generator Grid Synchronization Control

    Utilizes high-precision voltage, frequency, and phase synchronization detection to achieve seamless generator-to-grid connection, supporting millisecond-level synchronism verification to reduce grid-connection impact. Combined with phase-selection control devices, it optimizes breaker closing timing, suppresses switching overvoltage, and extends equipment service life.

  • Rapid Auxiliary Power Transfer

    Based on high-speed, disturbance-free transfer devices and high-speed vacuum circuit breakers, the system provides rapid auxiliary power switching. In the event of main power failure, transfer logic is initiated within 5 ms to ensure continuous supply to critical equipment (such as boiler feedwater pumps and fans), avoiding production interruptions.

  • Inrush Current and Overvoltage Suppression

    Employs microprocessor-based inrush current suppressors to address magnetizing inrush and switching overvoltage during energization of transformers, converters, and reactors. By applying “residual flux and offset flux cancellation” technology, it reduces inrush current and protects primary equipment insulation integrity.


  • Integrated Primary-Secondary Intelligent Circuit Breaker

    Intelligent phase-control circuit breakers are deeply integrated with secondary devices, combined with our proprietary online phase-selection reclosing analysis system. This supports remote monitoring and intelligent diagnostics. Working in coordination with fast transfer devices, it achieves “zero-voltage-dip” switching, complies with GB/T 1984 and IEC 62271‑100 standards, and is designed to withstand the high-temperature, high-humidity environments typical of thermal power plants.

Application Results and Cases

In a major thermal power plant application, our integrated solution reduced generator synchronization inrush current by 40%, shortened auxiliary power transfer time to 20 ms, and decreased equipment failure rate by 30%, significantly enhancing the plant's operational efficiency and safety.
