In the motivation of tapping the strong potential of computational intelligence in discovering knowledge of protective relay operations using data mining, modeling and simulation of an actual industrial numerical distance relay and its recording facility are a vital requisite. This is justified by the practicality and necessity of divulging the decision algorithm hidden in the recorded relay ev...

Digital technology has advanced very significantly over the years both in terms of software tools and hardware available. It is now applied extensively in many area of electrical engineering including protective relaying in power systems. Digital relays have many advantages over the traditional analog relays. The digital relay is able to do what is difficult or impossible in the analog relays. ...

Distance relay plays an important role in the protection of transmission lines. The application of flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) devices, such as the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM), could affect the performance of the distance relay because of compensation effect. This paper analyzes the application of distance relay on the protection of a transmission line containing STATC...

This paper investigates the impact on operating time delay and relay maloperation when 1,2 and 3 order analog antialiasing filters are used in numerical distance protection. RC filter with cut-off frequency 90 Hz is used. Simulations are carried out for different SIR (Source to line Impedance Ratio), load, fault type and fault conditions using SIMULINK, where the voltage and current signals are...

Existing works have widely studied relay-aided underwater acoustic networks under some specialized relay distributions, e.g., equidistant and rectangular-grid. In this paper, we investigate two fundamental problems that under which conditions a relay should be deployed and where to deploy it if necessary in terms of the energy and delay performance in linear underwater acoustic networks. To add...

This paper presents the impact of the Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) on the performance of distance protection of EHV transmission lines. A 400kV transmission system having midpoint connected STATCOM with its control circuit is modeled using MATLAB/SIMULINK software. The impact of STATCOM on distance relay for different fault conditions and different fault locations is analyzed. Simul...

In this paper we propose a new method to detect relay attacks. The relay attacks are possible in many communication systems, and are easy to put in practice since the attackers don't require any knowledge about the underlying protocols or the cryptographic keys. So far the most practical solutions against relay attacks seem to rely on distance-bounding protocols. These protocols can provide an ...

The protection of transmission lines is traditionally performed on-line, new pattern recognition techniques should be implemented quickly and flexibly. In this paper, a new approach to enhance the Transmission system distance relay co-ordination is presented. The approach depends on the apparent impedance loci seen by the distance relay during all possible disturbances. In a distance relay, the...
