Selective ground relays (SGRs) are useful fur distinguishing a faulted feeder from the sound feeders in ungrounded systems. However, they sometimes mis-operate due to human or device errors. Particularly, the reversed polarity of zero-sequence current transducers (ZCTs) is the most frequent cause of mis-operation. This paper presents a modified SGR for reducing the probability of mis-operations caused by the reversed polarity of ZCTs. The modification is achieved by introducing an adaptive time delay, which depends on the magnitude of the zero-sequence current and the phase angle deviation from the reference. The modified SGR was successfully demonstrated on a sample ungrounded system without mis-operation.

DC traction power system is operated ungrounded so that minimize the stray current. Because the stray current is still present, a rail potential is increased. The ground faults in the DC railway systems are usually detected by a potential relay(64P). Moreover, if the rail potential goes high in the ordinary operating state because of the traction load, the potential relay would be maloperated. A presented protective relaying algorithm that can identify exactly the faulted region and can distinguish a ground fault from the potential rising of the rail is presented in this paper. This paper presents simulation technique that is very similar to the real operation situation using PSCAD/EMTDC.

Ground differential relay is used to provide fast, sensitive, and selective protection for the wye connected and grounded electrical power equipment such as generators, power transformers, and grounding transformers. The ground differential protection only protects the ground faults within the protection zone, so that it can't protect the line-to-line fault. This paper proposes the algorithm to provide the protection for the line-to-line fault through the ground differential protection. The proposed algorithm detects the line-to-line fault of transformer using the comparison between the positive and the negative current, when the ground differential relay dose not operate. The performance of the algorithm is verified using a PSCAD/EMTDC simulator under various case studies.

Most faults are single-phase-to-ground fault in ungrounded system. The fault currents of single-phase-to-ground are much smaller than detection thresholds of measurement devices, so detecting single-phase-to-ground faults is difficult and important in ungrounded system. The protection coordination method using SGR(Selective Ground Relay) and OVGR(Overvoltage Ground Relay) is generally used in ungrounded system. But this method only detects fault line and it has the possibility of malfunction. This paper proposed to advanced protection coordination method in ungrounded system. The method just using zero-sequence current can detect fault line, fault phase, fault section at terminal device. The general protection method is used to back up protection. In the case study, the proposed method has been testified in demo system by Matlab/Simulink simulations.

The existing digital protection relay is continuously growing with an improvement in technology. In this paper, we propose the development of the digital protection relay which displays the trip area in real time. In most of the digital protection relays monitor whether analog signal enters into the pre-determined trip area, but those aren't provide the trip area information for a operator in real time. Therefore, if the digital protection relay continuously displays the trip area in real time, the operator analysis power system status easily. This paper particularly introduces selective ground protective relay and differential protective relay with trip area and presents a method of providing the trip area information to operator in real time.

This paper presents to verify the selective grounding fault protective relaying technique for the ungrounded DC traction power supply system. This system selectively blocks fault section when grounding fault occurred. In order to perform this verification, field test facilities have been installed on Oesam substation and Worldcup-Stadium substation, and field test process has been suggested. Also, selective grounding fault protective relaying components and rail voltage reduction device have been tested with the various trial examinations. In order to compare and evaluate performance of the selective grounding fault protective relaying function, field test system was modeled and the system fault simulation results were compared and evaluated with the field test result. Performance of selective grounding fault protective relaying function was evaluated with the above-mentioned process, and the fact that the system recognizes fault section irrespective of insulation between rail and ground and fault resistance from grounding fault.

Grounding fault and short of the DC power supply systems are detected and protected by high-speed circuit breaker, linked breaking device, ground relay and fault selective device, all of which are installed and operated in substaions. however, there have been many cases in which the protective devices did not detect grounding of of the over head catenary systems on concrete support for an extended period of time. Such cases often cause severe damages to the supports with high grounding resistances. If grounding accidents occur repetitively, the earth current and the rise of earth potential can damage not only passenger and staff but also electric facilities and equipment, necessitating high cost and endeavor to restore. The following study points out various problems that can be occurred occur as a result of high impedance grounding accident, and proposes a new system which can protect and intercept them.

최근, 출력전압의 제어가 가능하고 양방향 운용이 가능한 PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) 정류기가 도입되고 있다. 그러나, PWM 정류기가 적용될 경우, 전력계통측에서 사고발생하면, 회생전력에 의한 사고전류 공급으로 기존의 사고전류 크기 및 방향이 바뀔 가능성이 있다. 또한, 경전철용 급전시스템에서는 장거리 지점에서 사고가 발생하는 경우, 사고전류의 크기가 크게 감소되고, 부하전류와 비슷하거나 더 작은 경우가 발생할 수 있기 때문에 이에 대한 적절한 보호협조 운용 방안이 필요한 실정이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 상기의 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여, 경전철용 LVDC 배전선로의 보호기기 운용 방안을 제안한다. 구체적으로는 LVDC 배전선로에서의 거리 및 단락저항별 사고특성을 분석하여, 다양한 조건에서 사고를 적절하게 판별하는 직류선택계전기의 보호협조 운용방안을 제안한다. 또한, 배전계통 상용 해석 프로그램인 PSCAD/EMTDC를 이용하여 AC 계통, PWM 정류기, LVDC 배전선로로 구성된 경전철용 급전시스템의 모델링을 제시한다. 한편, 제안한 보호협조 알고리즘과 모델링을 이용하여 LVDC 배전선로의 보호기기 특성을 분석한 결과, 제안한 운용방식에서는 전류 경사각의 급격한 감소를 판정하는 보호요소를 추가한다. 따라서, 사고지점의 단락저항이 높거나 장거리 선로인 경우에도, 보호기기가 사고전류와 부하전류를 적절히 판별할 수 있어, 본 논문에서 제안한 보호협조 운용알고리즘의 유용성을 확인하였다.
