Chapter – 3 Electrical Protection System
CHAPTER – 3 ELECTRICAL PROTECTION SYSTEM 3.1 DESIGN CONSIDERATION Protection system adopted for securing protection and the protection scheme i.e. the coordinated arrangement of relays and accessories is discussed for the following elements of power system. i) Hydro Generators ii) Generator Transformers iii) H. V. Bus bars iv) Line Protection and Islanding Primary function of the protective system is to detect and isolate all failed or faulted components as quickly as possible, thereby minimizing the disruption to the remainder of the electric system. Accordingly the protection system should be dependable (operate when required), secure (not operate unnecessarily), selective (only the minimum number of devices should operate) and as fast as required. Without this primary requirement protection system would be largely ineffective and may even become liability. 3.1.1 Reliability of Protection Factors affecting reliability are as follows; i) Quality of relays ii) Component and circuits involved in fault clearance e.g. circuit breaker trip and control circuits, instrument transformers iii) Maintenance of protection equipment iv) Quality of maintenance operating staff Failure records indicate the following order of likelihood of relays failure, breaker, wiring, current transformers, voltage transformers and D C. battery. Accordingly local and remote back up arrangement are required to be provided. 3.1.2 Selectivity Selectivity is required to prevent unnecessary loss of plant and circuits. Protection should be provided in overlapping zones so that no part of the power system remains unprotected and faulty zone is disconnected and isolated. 3.1.3 Speed Factors affecting fault clearance time and speed of relay is as follows: i) Economic consideration ii) Selectivity iii) System stability iv) Equipment damage 3.1.4 Sensitivity Protection must be sufficiently sensitive to operate reliably under minimum fault conditions for a fault within its own zone while remaining stable under maximum load or through fault condition. -
Application Guidelines for Ground Fault Protection
Application Guidelines for Ground Fault Protection Joe Mooney and Jackie Peer Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. Presented at the 1998 International Conference Modern Trends in the Protection Schemes of Electric Power Apparatus and Systems New Delhi, India October 28–30, 1998 Previously presented at the 52nd Annual Georgia Tech Protective Relaying Conference, May 1998 Originally presented at the 24th Annual Western Protective Relay Conference, October 1997 APPLICATION GUIDELINES FOR GROUND FAULT PROTECTION Joe Mooney, P.E., Jackie Peer Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. INTRODUCTION Modern digital relays provide several outstanding methods for detecting ground faults. New directional elements and distance polarization methods make ground fault detection more sensitive, secure, and precise than ever. Advances in communications-aided protection further advance sensitivity, dependability, speed, and fault resistance coverage. The ground fault detection methods and the attributes of each method discussed in this paper are: • Directional Zero-Sequence Overcurrent • Directional Negative-Sequence Overcurrent • Quadrilateral Ground Distance • Mho Ground Distance Comparison of the ground fault detection methods is on the basis of sensitivity and security. The advantages and disadvantages for each method are presented and compared. Some problem areas of ground fault detection are discussed, including system nonhomogeneity, zero-sequence mutual coupling, remote infeed into high-resistance faults, and system unbalances due to in-line switching. Design and application considerations for each problem area are given to aid in setting the relay elements correctly. This paper offers a selection and setting guide for ground fault detection on noncompensated overhead power lines. The setting guide offers support in selecting the proper ground fault detection element based upon security, dependability, and sensitivity (high-resistance fault coverage). -

Smart Recloser
Smart Recloser A Major Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering Submitted by: Salvador Antoniou __________________ Thomas Cucinotta __________________ James Silvia __________________ Date: April 28, 2011 Approved by: __________________________ Professor Alexander E. Emanuel - Advisor ABSTRACT The goal of this project was to develop an intelligent recloser system that is able to differentiate between a temporary and a persistent fault, and then take proper action. The intended use of this system is to increase reliability and energy quality. The system was realized by using a non-invasive method to monitor the soundness of the line. Through signal processing, this information is converted into logic that a microprocessor can use to control the recloser. I ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, we would like to express our gratitude to Professor Alexander E. Emanuel for this eternal patience, guidance, and support throughout the project. We would also like to thank Professors Stephen Bitar and James O’Rourke for their troubleshooting assistance. Next, we would like to thank Tom Angelotti and Patrick Morrison of the ECE Shop for providing us with the equipment needed to complete this project. Last but not least, we would like to thank the ECE department at WPI for providing us with valuable knowledge throughout the course of our undergraduate studies. II TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract -
Power System Selectivity: the Basics of Protective Coordination by Gary H
Power System Selectivity: The Basics Of Protective Coordination By Gary H. Fox, PE, GE Specification Engineer The intent of this article is to provide a brief primer about the essence of coordinating the basic protective components of the electrical power system, including circuit breakers, fuses and protective relays, and to enable the reader to review a plot of time current curves and evaluate several key concerns: • How well do the devices work with each other? • Will a minimal amount of the power system be lost by a fault? • How well are the power system components protected? • Could the chosen ratings and settings cause nuisance trips? The Objectives of Protection Determining the protective devices for a power system The Intended Result and their settings usually puts two competing goals against each other. On the one hand you want the system available for use 100% of the time. To this extreme end all power outages, whether due to maintenance or failures, are to be avoided. You would want the protective device ratings and settings to be Isc as high as possible, and these settings would be further desensitized by a considerable time delay, so Page 2 that extra time is allowed before the circuit is tripped. Fig. 1 An example of short circuit On the other hand there is a concern for the protection flow in a radial system of the load and system components. The degree of damage from a short circuit fault is proportional to the amount of time that fault persists and the square of the current that flows. -
