agree  Kim Metzger: I certainly wouldn't go with "machine-technical."

  -> Thank you.

agree  Erich Hegenberger: Definitely unit protection, but I'd leave it at that - the 'm-technische' probably refers to the actual turbine generator or whatever, and not to any attributes of the protection system - just filler to make the report look more, uh, technical.
