The decision of digital distance relay is very important for making the protection scheme in the transmission system more reliable. As the current signal is taken from the output of the current transformer, the distortion introduced by the saturation in it affects the performance of the distance relay. In this context proper nonlinear modeling of current transformer is necessary and a suitable ...

In multi-hop relay systems, the end-to-end channel capacity is restricted by bottleneck node. In order to prevent some relay nodes from being the bottleneck of system and to guarantee the end-to-end channel capacity, the method of optimizing transmit power, distance and allocation time is proposed in this article. We show that the optimizing distance has more end-to-end channel capacity than th...

Traditional electromechanical distance relays used for protection of transmission lines are prone to effects of fault resistance. Each fault condition corresponds to a particular pattern. So use of a pattern recognizer can improve the relay performance. This paper presents a new approach, known as artificial neural network (ANN) to overcome the effect of fault resistance on relay mal-operation....

Power swing caused by various disturbances will affect distance relay behavior and may result in relay misoperation. This paper provides a new wavelet-based method for detection and classification of transmission line faults during power swing. The multi-resolution analysis based on wavelet transform (WT) has the ability to decompose the analyzed signals into different frequency bands. With the...

Determining the fault location using conventional impedance based distance relay in the presence of FACTS controllers is a challenging task in a transmission line. A new distance protection method is developed to locate the fault in a transmission line compensated with STATCOM with simple calculations. The proposed protection method considers the STATCOM injected/absorbed current to correct the...

Distance bounding protocols aim at avoiding relay attacks during an authentication process. They are particularly awaited in RFID, where mounting a relay attack between a lowcapability prover and a remote verifier is no longer fiction. Several distance bounding protocols suited to RFID have been recently suggested, all targeting to reduce the two related quantities: adversary’s success probabil...

This work describes the design of a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) based Adaptive Numerical Mho relay, to be used for distance protection schemes of long distance transmission lines. The relay settings will be automatically adjusted with the changes of power system parameters with the variation of frequency as well as with the variation of percentage compensation which may occur due to fault /d...

This paper presents the novel approach in protection and detection techniques of Alternator stator winding from the earth faults which are simulated between 2% to 10% distance point from the alternator neutral, since the impedence at that distance is very high we can not detect or protect by normal methods. The transient produced is analyzed in discreet Wavelet transforms. The potential of usin...
