Abstract
Systems and methods for protecting a generator are provided. An example method can include receiving a signal indicative of a voltage associated with a stator. The method can include receiving a signal indicative of a nominal voltage associated with the stator. The method can include receiving a signal indicative of a monitoring state associated with the generator. The method can include receiving a signal indicative of a deadband range. The method can include determining a voltage ratio based at least in part on the voltage associated with the stator and the nominal voltage. The method can include determining an adjusted operating limit using a multiplier determined based at least in part on the voltage ratio. The method can include generating a power command to control operation of the generator based at least in part on the adjusted operating limit.
