Thermal
Background and Challenges
Thermal power plants have very high requirements for stability, reliability and fast response of the power system. According to the characteristics of our products, we build solutions around the following scenarios:
  • Fast and Reliable Grid Synchronization
    Minimizing resource and equipment losses caused by prolonged synchronization processes, and achieving precise and reliable generator synchronization and grid connection.
  • Auxiliary Power Supply Reliability
    Auxiliary power is the foundation for safe and stable plant operation. Ensuring reliable power supply for high- and low-voltage primary and secondary auxiliary loads is critical to power plant safety and production continuity.
  • Harmonic and Inrush Current Risks
    In multi-unit power plants, transformer energization during the return-to-service of maintenance units may generate harmonic inrush currents, which can trigger protection misoperations and pose serious threats to units already in operation.
Overview

Leveraging over 80% market share in synchronization systems and industry-leading fast transfer technologies, GoLead Intelligent provides an integrated solution combining precise synchronization, disturbance-free fast transfer, and smart inrush current suppression.

The solution covers key scenarios including generator grid connection, auxiliary power switching, and auxiliary equipment drives, enabling zero power interruption, low electrical impact, and long service life for thermal power plant power systems.

Key Technologies
  • Generator Synchronization Control

    High-precision voltage, frequency, and phase synchronization detection is employed to achieve seamless generator-to-grid connection. Millisecond-level synchronization judgment minimizes grid-connection impact. Combined with phase-selection control devices, the breaker closing timing is optimized to suppress switching overvoltage and extend equipment service life.

  • Fast Auxiliary Power Transfer

    A fast, disturbance-free power transfer system is built using fast transfer devices in coordination with high-speed vacuum circuit breakers. When the main power source fails, the transfer logic is initiated within 5 ms, ensuring uninterrupted power supply to critical equipment such as boiler feedwater pumps and fans, and preventing production interruptions.

  • Inrush Current and Overvoltage Suppression

    Microprocessor-based inrush current suppressors are applied to mitigate magnetizing inrush current and switching overvoltage during the energization of transformers, frequency converters, reactors, and other equipment. By leveraging the "residual flux and bias flux counteraction" technology, impact current is significantly reduced, protecting primary equipment insulation.

  • Integrated Primary & Secondary Smart Circuit Breakers

    Smart phase-controlled circuit breakers are deeply integrated with secondary devices and combined with our self-developed online phase-selection closing analysis system, enabling remote monitoring and smart diagnostics. Coordinated with fast transfer devices, they realize "zero-voltage-dip" switching. The solution complies with GB/T 1984 and IEC 62271-100 standards and is well suited for high-temperature and high-humidity thermal power plant environments.

Application Results and Cases

In a large-scale thermal power plant application, our solution achieved a 40% reduction in generator synchronization inrush current, shortened auxiliary power transfer time to 20 ms, and reduced equipment failure rates by 30%, significantly improving the plant’s operational efficiency and overall safety.
