Investigation of Using IEC 61850-Sampled Values for Implementing a Transient-Based Protection Scheme for Series-Compensated Transmission Lines (original) (raw)

A Review on Protection of Transmission Lines

The growth of a country is scaled by the amount of energy it consumes. In the developing India, with the rise of population, increasing number of cities and demanding villages, caused to set up transmission lines with higher capacity. Inter-ties were connected through the transmission lines to lighten every city and village, thus making the whole system complex. This complex system required a robust protection, so that a fault in one place does not cause the unfaulted region to trip or series of trip undesirably, which may otherwise cause a situation of blackout. To protect the power system, we use protective relays-electromechanical, solid state or microprocessor relays. In this paper, different types of protections are discussed. The traditional protection schemes requiring a communication between two ends are discussed which include directional comparison blocking (DCB), permissive overreaching transfer trip (POTT), International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)-61850 to protect a transmission line using Generic Object Oriented Substation Events (GOOSE) messaging. At the process and station control levels, IEC 61850 define the rules for integration of protection, control, measurement and monitoring functions within a power system network. Successful tests were done by various manufacturers and utilities for substation automation using IEC 61850 proving enhanced interoperability between vendors and systems and elimination of substation wiring. Thus endeavors are now being directed to cover substation to control center and substation to substation automation using IEC-61850.

Hardware-in-the-loop Testing of Line Differential Protection Relay Based on IEC 61850 Process Bus

15th International Conference on Developments in Power System Protection (DPSP 2020), 2020

The term digital substation refers to the process of managing operations between intelligent primary devices and distributed Intelligent Electric Devices (IEDs) interfaced with a highly secure communications network. The process bus is the first part of the interface between the primary instruments (such as the current and voltage transformers and protection devices) and is an important part of digitalization. This paper describes a method for constructing an interface between measurement instruments and protection devices based on the IEC 61850 standard. Two scenarios are considered to examine the performance of the power system protection in a transmission line between two substations. Both a conventional and an IEC 61850-9-2 (sampled values) approach are implemented to feed the measured values to the protection devices. Trip signals are then also sent to the circuit breakers using IEC 61850-8-1 (GOOSE message). Comparing this method with conventional technology, the outcomes for the digital substation are more accurate and reliable thanks to the rapid reaction of protection devices and the speed at which the trip signal is received. The new process bus method has been tested by implementing a hardware-in-the-loop platform, consisting of a real-time simulator (OPAL-RT eMEGAsim), StandAlone Merging Units (SAMUs), and line differential protection.

Recent techniques used in transmission line protection: a review

This article presents a survey of the developments in digital relays for protection of transmission lines. For a modern power system, selective high speed clearance of faults on high voltage transmission lines is critical and this survey indicates the efficient and promising implementations for fault detection, classification and fault location in power transmission line protection. The work done in this area favor computerized relays, digital communication technologies and other technical developments, to avoid cascading failures and facilitate safer, secure and reliable power systems. Efforts have been made to include almost all the techniques and philosophies of transmission line protection reported in the literature up to October 2010. The focus of this article is on the most recent techniques, like artificial neural network, fuzzy logic, fuzzy-neuro, fuzzy logicwavelet based and phasor measurement unit-based concepts as well as other conventional methods used in transmission line protection.

Design and implementation of IEC 61850 in communication-assisted protection strategy

2014 IEEE PES T&D Conference and Exposition, 2014

This paper presents a design and implementation of communication-assisted protection strategy to clear faults on a section of 115 kV transmission lines in Otter Tail Power system. The existing step-distance relaying scheme takes more than 25 cycles (417 ms) to clear faults on this particular three terminal line. In order to reliably clear all faults in less than 20 cycles (333 ms), the transmission line terminals communicate with each other through Ethernet to isolate and clear a fault as fast as possible. Through IEC 61850 Generic Object Oriented Substation Events (GOOSE) Messaging, the communicationbased Permissive Overreaching Transfer Trip (POTT) scheme is utilized to achieve a faster and reliable clearance of all faults. The proposed method has been verified with ASPEN software and implemented in hardware.

Novel protection scheme based on IEC61850

The new international standard for communication networks and systems in substations, IEC61850, is expected to involve a profound evolution in electrical power systems. The new functionalities supported by an intelligent application of IEC61850 must result in a significant improvement of stability and reliability of power systems.

Transmission line protection system for increasing power system requirements

2010

This paper describes a protective relay for fast and reliable transmission line protection that combines elements that respond only to transient conditions with elements that respond to transient and steady state conditions. In this paper, we also present an algorithm that prevents Zone 1 distance element overreach in series-compensated line applications and show how to prevent corruption of the distance element polarization during pole-open conditions. We also introduce an efficient frequency estimation logic for single-pole-tripping (SPT) applications with line-side potentials. This logic prevents distance element misoperation during a system frequency excursion when one pole is open. We also discuss an algorithm and logic to prevent single-pole reclosing while the fault is present, avoiding additional power system damage and minimizing system disturbance. Applying these algorithms and logics results in a protective system suitable for increasing power system requirements such as heavy loading, SPT, series line compensation, and shunt line compensation.

IEC 61850-Based Centralized Protection against Single Line-To-Ground Faults in Ungrounded Distribution Systems

Energies

We developed an International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61850-based centralized protection scheme to prevent single line-to-ground (SLG) faults in the feeders and busbars of ungrounded distribution systems. Each feeder intelligent electronic device (IED) measures its zero-sequence current and voltage signals and periodically transmits zero-sequence phasors to a central IED via a Generic Oriented Object Substation Event message. Using the zero-sequence phasors, the central IED detects SLG faults in feeders and busbars. To achieve centralized protection, angle differences between the zero-sequence currents and voltage phasors are exploited, and their calculation compensates for data desynchronization. The feeder IEDs were implemented using the MMS-EASE Lite library, while the transmitted zero-sequence phasors were calculated based on fault signals simulated by Power System Computer Aided Design / Electro-Magnetic Transient Design and Control (PSCAD/EMTDC). The central IED dete...

Power Systems, 2019

The chapter includes protection power systems based on the IEC 61850 protocol for data communication systems between substations. The IEC 61850 is adequate for real time communication between IED based on GOOSE messages. The chapter includes the case study from the Romanian power systems: implementation of protection and remote control system in transformer station 110 kV/20 kV Laminor, using IEC 61850. Keywords IEC 61850 • Protection • IED • SBO • GOOSE 29.1 Introduction The protection and automation system of a station depends on the development and availability of microprocessor-based systems. Thus, the equipment from the power station transformation have been evolved from simple electromechanical devices to the digital robust terminals namely intelligent electronic devices (IED-Intelligent Equipment Device) used to perform specific required functions (for example, protection, monitoring and local/remote control). Until now, the specific proprietary communication protocols have been used, developed by each manufacturer in particular manner, requiring complex protocol converters and expensive when IEDs are used from different suppliers. Therefore, there was need to develop an effective protocol for communication between the IEDs, in order to ensure the interoperability. IEC 61850 is a standard protocol for the automation, design of the transformer power stations developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), M. Gaiceanu (B) • I.
