A conventional variable percentage current differential relaying algorithm for bus protection may misoperate for external faults with severe CT saturation and internal faults with high impedance. This paper proposes a percentage differential current relaying algorithm for bus protection combined with a compensating algorithm of secondary currents of CTs. Even though CTs are saturated and their secondary currents are severely distorted, the proposed relaying algorithm does not only misoperate for external faults with CT saturation but also detects the internal faults with high fault impedance. Thus, the method improves the sensitivity of the relays and does not require any counterplan for CT saturation.

Distributed generation (DG) plays an important role in the power system nowadays. Over-current relay, widely used in the DG protection, causes a wide outage section and long time delay. This paper proposes a DG protection technique to minimize the outage section. The proposed method uses three directional over-current relays with time delay, which are connected to the point of common coupling. The method can minimize the outage section.

A variable percentage current differential relaying algorithm is widely used for bus protection. However, it may maloperate in case of high-impedance internal faults and external faults with CT saturation and thus additional method to cope with CT saturation is necessary. This paper proposes a percentage current differential relaying algorithm for bus protection using a compensating algorithm of secondary current of CTs. As the proposed method compensates the distorted secondary currents of CTs it can improves the sensitivity of relays in a large current region and does not need any additional method for CT saturation.

This paper analyzed catenary impedance characteristics of relays installed in substation and sectioning post to protect power feeding circuit in the extended power feeding conditions. For this, we modelled AT feeding system using PSCAD/EMTDC and calculated catenary impedance. The relay installed in substation calculated catenary impedance of the extended power feeding area adding catenary impedance of self protection zone. But, the relay installed in sectioning post calculated catenary impedance of the only protection area. Therefore, we confirmed that the more reliable protection way can be utilized using the relay installed in sectioning post.

Nowadays, subway station has provided not only transportation but living spaces for everyday activities. Therefore, a variety of facilities have been installed for a safety of citizens such as fire-fighting equipment, platform screen doors and giving high level of benefits such as air-conditioning and heating equipment, escalators, lighting apparatus. In order to operate these facilities appropriately, it is needless to say that electric power supply must be reliable. Many protection relays have been installed to protect electric apparatus and power system, nevertheless it..s study has been insufficient in the concrete. From this paper, through analyzing of protection relay system of electric room operated in line 2 of Seoul metro, we can help to improve stable power supply system of subway station.

A percentage current differential relay is widely used for transformer protection. Because many percentage current differential relays recently use modified methods instead of conventional methods for deciding the operating characteristics of the large current region, in this paper, the operating region of a percentage current differential relay is analyzed in input-output current domain instead of operating-restraint current domain. An effective method to set the operating region when a CT is saturated is proposed with a series of investigations comparing a conventional method with the proposed modified method. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated for internal and external faults of a power transformer having the voltage rating of 345/154kV. EMTP-RV is used for the relaying data collection.

The setting of protective relays, which is critical to the system security, requires a huge volume of data and a lot of repetitive calculations. Since an effective design of a database is essential. The relay setting database must accommodate a variety of protective devices. Also its information can be viewed and updated with easy by humans and by computer programs. This paper describes several existing database designs for power system protection, their advantages and disadvantages. Also this paper develops an effective database for power system protection with their advantages.

In this paper we propose to develop program witch can improve the detecting capability of impedance fault in power transmission system. It is difficult to setting relay because the different type relays have many setting values to coordinate with each other. The proposed program assist a user in setting relay with convenience grapic environment and database.

This paper describes the possible undesier-able side effects that thyristor controlled compensation may have upon in several relays. This process consisted of calculating line conditions for each of the fault, compensation and loading levels. In some cases their effectiveness at coordinating compensated lines is lost, as they no longer can always accurately determine "distances" to faults.

The large-scale power system blackouts have indicated that conventional protection relays that based on local signals cannot fit for modern power grids with complicated setting or heavily loaded-flow transfer. In order to accurately detect various faulted lines and improve the fault-tolerance of wide-area protection, a novel multi-section weighed fault matching and detecting algorithm is proposed. The real protection vector (RPV) and expected section protection vectors (ESPVs) for five fault sections are constructed respectively. The function of multi-section weighed fault matching is established to calculate the section fault matching degrees between RPV and five ESPVs. Then the fault degree of protected line based on five section fault degrees can be obtained. Two fault detecting criterions are given to support the higher accuracy rate of detecting fault. With the enumerating method, the simulation tests illustrate the correctness and fault-tolerance of proposed algorithm. It can reach the target of 100% accuracy rate under 5 bits error of wide-area protections. The influence factors of fault-tolerance are analyzed, which include the choosing of wide-area protections, as well as the topological structures of power grid and fault threshold.
