The large AC generator fault may lead to large impacts or perturbations in power system. The generator protection control systems in Korea have been imported and operated through a turn-key from overseas entirely. Therefore a study of the generator protection field has in urgent need for a stable operation of the imported goods. In present, the algorithm using the current ratio differential relaying based DFT for stator winding protection or a fault detection had been applied that of internal fault protection of a generator. the DFT used for the analysis of transient state signal conventionally had defects losing a time information in the course of transforming a target signal to frequency domain. In this paper, the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) was applied a fault detection of the generator being superior to a transient state signal analysis and being easy to real time realization. The fault signals after executing a terminal fault modeling collect using a MATLAB package, and calculate the wavelet coefficients through the process of a muiti-level decomposition (MLD). The proposed algorithm for a fault detection using the Daubechies WT (wavelet transform) was executed with a C language and the commend line function for the real time realization after analyzing MATLAB's graphical interface. The advanced technique had improved faster a speed of fault discrimination than a conventional DFR based on DFT.

An iron-cored voltage transformer(VT) is usually used to obtain the standard low voltage signal for protection and measurement. Generally, the iron-cored transformers have errors due to the hysteresis characteristics of the iron-core. An error compensating algorithm for iron-cored instrument transformer can improve the accuracy of conventional voltage transformers. This paper describes the iron-cored electronic voltage transformer having the error compensating algorithm. The innovative product composes an iron-cored VT and an intelligent electronic device(IED) having the error compensating algorithm. The test results of the iron-cored electronic voltage transformers in Korea Electro-technology Research Institute(KERI) are presented.

The effect of the fault could be propagated to healthy region when the fault on the power system is not cleared in time. In order to enhance reliability of the protective relay, a dual and/or backup system is adopted for the power system protection. The IEC61850 has become an international standard of the substation automation system for interoperability between heterogeneous IEDs from different vendors. This paper introduces a reliability enhancement technique for the substation automation system using characteristics of the IEC61850.

As dispersed generators was driven in condition interconnecting with utility, it could cause a variety of new effects to the original distribution system that was running as considered only the one-way power flow. Therefore, the protection devices that is builted in distribution system should be designed to be able to operate with disposing of not only a fault of the generator, but also utility condition. Especially, the fault of the feeder interconnected with Dispersed Generator can cause the islanding phenomenon of open DG(Dispersed Generators). This phenomenon has many problems such as a machinery damage, electricity qualify degradation and a difficulty of the system recovery. In the fault therefore, we must separate Dispersed Generator from the system quickly. In this paper, for the fault classification of the interconnected DG and the outside feeder we judge the fault of the interconnected DG and the outside feeder in HMI through data provided by IED(Intelligent Electronic Device) on the network and decide whether it operates or not by sending the result to each relay.

Generator protection device has to detects an internal fault conditions in generator and abnormal operating conditions must be due to the hazards. Loss of excitation may cause generator itself failure as well as serious operating problem in power system, and then requires an appropriate response of generator protection device. Details modeling of generator control system and analysis of transient states in generator are important for optimal operation in power plants. In addition, the fault simulation data are also used for testing the characteristics of IED. In this paper, the hydro generator control system using PSCAD/EMTDC, visual simulation for power systems, was modeled. The generator control system which is composed of generator, turbine, exciter, governor was implemented. The parameters of generator control system model were obtained from field power plant. Loss of excitation simulations were performed while varying the fixed load. Several signals analysis were also performed so as to analyze transients phenomena.

The protection relay keeps electric power facilities by using signals of the voltage and current which are input and output terminals of each equipment. Each relay performances protection algorithm by using informations of own protecting zone. To prevent the mal-operation in inrush current, established transformer differential protection method uses the second harmonics as blocking signal. This method is not operate at the initial inrush. However, in case of the parallel operation, if the initial inrush is occurred in one transformer which is generated, the sympathetic inrush Is occurred in adjacent transformer. This paper approach the sympathetic inrush detecting algorithm of a transformer based on agent. Proposed algorithm, when inrush current occurred, distinguish sympathetic inrush or not by using differential current of adjacent transformer. This algorithm have the advantage of the distinguishing initial inrush and sympathetic inrush at operation of parallel transformer

A current transformer(CT) should provide the faithful reproduction of the primary current to the measurement or the protection equipments. The exciting current resulting from the hysteresis characteristics of the core causes an error between the primary current and the secondary current of the CT. A compensating algorithm for the secondary current of the current transformer that removes the effects of the hysteresis characteristics of the iron-core has proposed. The core flux linkage is calculated by integrating the measured secondary current, and then inserted into the flux-magnetizing current curve to obtain the magnetizing current. The exciting current at every sampling interval is obtained by summing the core-loss and magnetizing currents and added to the measured current to obtain the correct current. This paper describes the innovative new product of the iron-cored electronic current transformer. This product composes an iron-cored CT and an intelligent electronic device(IED) ported the compensating algorithm. The test results of the iron-cored electronic current transformers in Korea Electro-technology Research Institute(KERI) are presented.

A coupling capacitor voltage transformer (CCVT) is used in an extra high voltage power system to obtain the standard low voltage signal for protection and measurement. To suppress the effects of ferro-resonance more effectively, a three winding CCVT is used. This paper proposes an algorithm for compensating the secondary voltage of the three winding CCVT. With the secondary voltage of the three winding CCVT, the secondary and tertiary currents are obtained; the primary winding current is obtained by considering non-linear characteristics of the core; the voltage across the capacitor and the inductor are calculated and then added to the measured voltage to compensate the secondary voltage. Test results indicate that the algorithm can reduce the errors of the three winding CCVT significantly.

Voltage Transformer is used to transform high voltage into low voltage to input signal of protection relay. Most of the Voltage Transformers use the iron core which maximizes the flux linkage. The ratio of the Voltage Transformer depends on the transformer turns ratio. The current which flows in the Voltage Transformer has non-linear characteristic caused by hysteresis of the iron core, it causes a voltage loss in the winding impedances which makes measurement errors. This paper describes an error compensation method considering hysteresis characteristic. The proposed compensation method improves error by calculating the primary current from the exciting current of the hysteresis loop in the Voltage Transformer, compensating the voltage loss.
