2. Agenda
 Why protection is needed
 Principles and elements of the protection
system
 Basic protection schemes
 Digital relay advantages and enhancements

3. Disturbances: Light or Severe
 The power system must maintain acceptable
operation 24 hours a day
 Voltage and frequency must stay within certain limits
 Small disturbances
 The control system can handle these
 Example: variation in transformer or generator load
 Severe disturbances require a protection
system
 They can jeopardize the entire power system
 They cannot be overcome by a control system

4. Power System Protection
Operation during severe disturbances:
 System element protection
 System protection
 Automatic reclosing
 Automatic transfer to alternate power supplies
 Automatic synchronization

5. Electric Power System Exposure to External
Agents

6. Damage to Main Equipment

7. Protection System
A series of devices whose main purpose
is to protect persons and primary electric
power equipment from the effects of faults
The “Sentinels”

8. Blackouts
 Loss of service in a
large area or
population region
 Hazard to human life
 May result in enormous
economic losses
 Overreaction of the
protection system
 Bad design of the
protection system

10. FAULTS ON POWER SYSTEMS RISK :
Severe damage to the faulted equipment :
 Excessive current may flow;
 Causes burning of conductors or equipment
windings;
 Arcing - energy dissipation;
 Risk of explosions for oil - filled switchgear, or
when in hazardous environments.
Damage to adjacent plant :
 As the fault evolves, if not cleared quickly;
 Due to the voltage depression / loss of supply.

11. Mechanical Damage During
Short Circuits
 Very destructive in busbars, isolators,
supports, transformers, and machines
 Damage is instantaneous

 Fastness
 Discrimination

14. Protection System Elements
 Protective relays
 Circuit breakers
 Current and voltage transducers
 Communications channels
 DC supply system

15. Protective relays:
 A device which detect intolerable or
unwanted conditions within the assigned
area.
 * A watchman or watchdog for the
equipment/area
 * Silent sentinels to power system.

16. How relays are differentiated?
 Can be differentiated based on:
 * Functional categories
 * Input quantities
 *Operating Principles
 * Performance Characteristics.

17. What are various design criteria?
 * Dependability/Reliability
 * Security
 * Selectivity
 *Speed
 * Simplicity/flexibility
 *Stability
 *Performance Vs. Economy

18. What are various technique used?
 * Electromechanical
 *Solid state/Static
 * Microprocessor/Numerical

19. Non-Unit, or Unrestricted Protection :
No specific point downstream up to which
protection will protect
 Will operate for faults on the protected
equipment;
 May also operate for faults on downstream
equipment, which has its own protection;
 Need for discrimination with downstream
protection, usually by means of time grading.

20. Unit, or Restricted Protection :
Has an accurately defined zone of
protection
 An item of power system plant is
protected as a unit;
 Will not operate for out of zone
faults, thus no back-up protection
for downstream faults.

32. How Do Relays Detect Faults?
 When a fault takes place, the current,
voltage, frequency, and other electrical
variables behave in a peculiar way. For
example:
 Current suddenly increases
 Voltage suddenly decreases
 Relays can measure the currents and the
voltages and detect that there is an
overcurrent, or an undervoltage, or a
combination of both
 Many other detection principles determine
the design of protective relays

55. Differential Protection
Summary
 The overcurrent differential scheme is simple
and economical, but it does not respond well
to unequal current transformer performance
 The percentage differential scheme responds
better to CT saturation
 Percentage differential protection can be
analyzed in the relay and the alpha plane
 Differential protection is the best alternative
selectivity/speed with present technology

57. Why study this protection
scheme??
 Protection scheme plays a vital & important role
for the normal operation or the steady state
operation of different components of power system
network, which must be reliable, fast and efficient.
 In order to achieve all these features, it is essential
that these should be proper care in designing and
choosing an appropriate and efficient protection
scheme.
 The protective relays functions as the brain
behind the whole schemes…
