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...

This paper presents the design, simulation and implementation of an adaptive mho distance relay to compensate during a phase-to-phase fault with fault resistance using the KU method. The phaseto-phase fault with fault resistance occasionally produces a trajectory of impedance outside the zone of the distance relay protection. Therefore, in this case, the distance relay will not send the trip co...

Performance testing of the protection relays ensures that a particular protection scheme will operate reliably and fast enough to disconnect a faulty zone from the rest of the network, thus mitigating the effect of fault on the power system. It is therefore important to validate the settings of power protection equipment and to confirm its performance when subject to different fault conditions....

Accurate models of Overcurrent (OC) with inverse time relay characteristics play an important role for coordination of power system protection schemes. This paper proposes a new method for modeling OC relays curves. The model is based on fuzzy logic and artificial neural networks. The feed forward multilayer perceptron neural network is used to calculate operating times of OC relays for various...

In this paper, a differential protection schemes using fuzzy inference system (FIS) for power transformer protection is presented. First we review the concept of differential protection, and illustrate the magnetizing inrush current as they belong to the causes of the protection maloperation. Then relay logic and the algorithm that uses Discreet Fourier transformer for extraction of fundamental...

Power plant generators are important components of an electrical energy system. They should be constantly monitored and protected in order to maintain the quality reliability power supply. Otherwise generator may operate incorrectly resulting poor instability during events like faults, equipment failure, reverse flow(RPF) etc., presence large distributed resources is major cause flow low loads/...

This paper presents a study of the performance of numerical distance relay for a 400 kV electrical transmission line compensated by series Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) i.e. Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) is connected in the middle of the transmission line and can be used in voltage mode control or reactive power injection mode, and damping of power system oscillations i...

The increase in the line complexity, confi guration and the power transmitted has introduced a number of problems in relation to protection. New techniques have become necessary to tackle these problems. Firstly it has become necessary to see that lines are not unnecessarily disconnected, but at the same time shorter operating times from protective relays are demanded on faulted sections to pre...

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...

Original scientific paper In this paper, the necessity of the protective relay of the micro-grid is described as the anti-islanding protection and Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT), and the fault characteristics of the renewable energy sources are analysed. The applicability of over-current protection, distance protection, differential protection, pilot protection, voltage protection and frequenc...
