Generator Performance in Steam Power Plant

Abstract

This paper presents generator performance in a steam power plant. Location of this research is steam power plant, PT Paiton Unit 7, on Jalan Surabaya - Situbondo km 141, Binor, Paiton, Probolinggo, East Java, Indonesia. In the steam power plant, PT Paiton Unit 7 is used synchronous generators. The generator is said to be synchronous if it meets the requirements, among others, the phase sequence must be the same, the voltage must be the same, the frequency must be the same, and the phase angle must be the same.The performance of the generator can be known by looking at changes in active power, changes in output voltage, changes in output current, changes in reactive power in MVAR, changes in apparent power in MVA, changes in power factor, changes in frequency, changes in efficiency and percentage of the supply voltage.
