3. 3 Introduction

4. 4 Introduction to distance protection Why distance relays ?  Coordination of overcurrent and directional overcurrent relays is achieved using time delays  The time delays would become exceptionally long when applied to large power systems  Not possible to protect complex systems using overcurrent & directional overcurrent relays  Distance protection was introduced to overcome these problems  Most systems use one or another form of distance relay for protecting transmission and sub-transmission lines

5. 5  Limitation of instantaneous overcurrent protection Introduction to distance protection IF1 = 115kV/3(5+4) = 7380A  Is > 7380A F1 115kV 50 IF1 ZS = 10  ZS = 10  ZL = 4  F2 115kV 50 IF2 ZS = 10  ZL = 4  IF2 = 115kV/3(10) = 6640A 7380A> Is < 6640A Impossible to set

6. 6 Introduction to distance protection  Distance relay is very popular for protecting transmission lines.  Offers fast operating times (1 cycle)  Can work independently or in co-ordination with other relays in the system  Easy to design and proven to be the best solution for wide range of system configuration  Communication aided schemes can give 100% instantaneous protection.  Additional time delayed back-up available.

9. 9 Distance Protection Characteristics

10. 10 Distance protection characteristics  A distance relay response characteristic is usually represented in  R-X impedance diagram – reach setting of the relay  Z-T diagram – operating time of each zone

11. 11 MHO R Zs jX IMPEDANCE R Zs jX OFFSETMHO R Zs jX Zs’ CROSS/MEMORY POLARIZED MHO R Zs jX LENTICULAR jX Zs R Zs’ Distance protection characteristics QUADRILATERAL Zs R jX POLYGON Zs R jX

12. 12 Simple impedance characteristics  Operating characteristics is a circle with its centre as origin in the R-X plane.  Good resistive reach coverage  Non-directional, thus requires additional directional unit.  Higher chances of load encroachment  Susceptible to power swings R Zs jX Operate Restrain

13. 13 Self polarized mho characteristics  Operating characteristics is a circle passing through the origin in the R-X plane  Inherently directional  Less susceptible to power swings  Characteristics defined by the reach setting (ZS) and relay characteristics angle ()  Less fault resistance coverage R Zs jX Operate Restrain 

14. 14 Offset mho characteristics  Has a reverse reach.  Usually used for time delayed zones to provide back-up for forward and reverse faults  Ensures secure operation for close-up faults. R Zs jX Operate Restrain  ZR

15. 15 Cross polarized mho characteristics  To ensure proper operation for close-up forward and reverse faults with zero (very close to zero!!) fault voltage “Cross polarization” technique is used  Using healthy phase(s) voltage to polarize the mho characteristics  100% cross polarized - When full magnitude of healthy phase voltage is used  Partially cross polarized - When a percentage of healthy phase voltage is used  In addition to providing secure operation, it also offers higher coverage for resistive faults  For example for a “B-C” phase fault use “A” phase voltage as the polarizing signal

16. 16 Three phase close-up faults  During three phase close-up faults the fault voltage can go down to a very low value  Since this happens in all three phases, cross polarization will not help. This can again lead to wrong decision from the relay.  This is solved by using memory voltage for polarizing. R X ZL Uncertain area Due to low fault voltage

27. 27 Distance Protection Schemes

28. 28 Basic distance scheme Z1 A B Z2 Z3 Z1 Z2 Z3 OR Trip Z1 Z2 Z3 t2 t3

29. 29  Zone 1 set to 80% leaves 20% end zones  Faults in end zone results in instantaneous tripping at one end and time delayed at the other  Time delay may lead to system stability problems  Sequential clearance leaves no dead time for high speed A/R cycle (transient fault becomes permanent)  Longer clearance times - More damage Basic distance scheme disadvantages

30. 30 Auto Reclose  Majority of the faults on the line are transient faults caused by lightning & temporary contact with external objects such as tree branches.  Transient faults such as insulator flashover can be cleared by immediately tripping the breaker and will not recur when the line is energised.  Auto reclose schemes are employed to carry out this duty automatically thereby minimizing interruption of power supply

31. 31 Zone 1 extension scheme Z1 A B Z2 Z3 Z1 Z2 Z3 Z1X Z1X OR Trip Z1 Z2 Z3 & Z1X A/R OR t2 t3

32. 32  No signalling channel required (may be used as temporary replacement for carrier aided scheme when communication channel goes out of service)  Provides fast fault clearance at both ends for a transient fault anywhere along the line length  Allows the use of high speed A/R cycle Zone 1 extension advantages

33. 33  Tripping can occur for external faults (but will be followed by an autoreclose)  Basic distance scheme logic applies following reclose (i.e. potential for time delayed clearance for permanent faults)  Only suitable to systems where autoreclose is used (for example can not be used on cable circuits) Zone 1 extension scheme disadvantages

34. 34 Direct transfer tripping Z1 A B Z2 Z3 Z1 Z2 Z3 OR Trip Z1 Z2 Z3 t2 t3 Trip Z1 Z2 Z3 t2 t3 Tx Rx Tx Rx OR End A End B

35. 35  Advantages  All faults anywhere along the protected line can be cleared instantaneously at both line ends  Scheme can be advantageous for protecting 3 terminal lines due to ease of application  Disadvantages  A very secure signalling channel is required :- incorrect operation leads to false tripping  Circuit breakers at both line ends must be closed and contribute fault current to obtain high speed fault clearance  If the channel fails only the basic scheme logic will be provided Direct transfer trip

36. 36 Permissive underreach scheme Z1 A B Z2 Z3 Z1 Z2 Z3 & OR Trip Z1 Z2 Z3 t2 t3 Trip Z1 Z2 Z3 t2 t3 Tx Rx Tx Rx End A End B & 100 100 OR

37. 37  Advantage  Only a simplex signalling channel required  Scheme is very secure as signalling channel only keyed for internal fault (Zone 1 initiation)  Disadvantage  If one terminal of the line is open then only Basic scheme logic will apply  If there is a weak in-feed at one terminal then only Basic scheme logic will apply  If signalling channel fails then only Basic scheme logic will apply  Resistive coverage is governed by Zone 1 setting (may be limited on short lines) Permissive underreach scheme

38. 38 Permissive overreach scheme Z1 A B Z2 Z3 Z1 Z2 Z3 & OR Trip Z1 Z2 Z3 t2 t3 Trip Z1 Z2 Z3 t2 t3 Tx Rx Tx Rx End A End B & OR

39. 39 Permissive overreach scheme with circuit breaker echo logic Z1 A B Z2 Z1 Z2 Fault current in feed at one line end is insufficient to operate any distance Zone element or if one Circuit breaker is left open the fault clearance is delayed. To avoid this slow tripping the weak infeed relay will echo back the signal received immediately.

40. 40  Advantages  Provides better resistive coverage, especially on short lines, where MHO measuring elements are used  For cases where one line terminal is open, open breaker echo logic can be used  For cases of weak or zero in-feed at one line terminal weak in- feed logic can be used (reverse looking zone required)  Disadvantages  Duplex signalling channel required  Scheme is theoretically less secure then PUR as signalling channel is keyed for external faults  If signalling channel fails then only Basic scheme logic will apply Permissive overreach scheme

41. 41 Practical blocking scheme Z1 A B Z2 Z3 Z1 Z2 Z3 Trip Z1 Z2 Z3 t2 t3 Tx Rx & Td & Tw Channel in service OR Trip Z1 Z2 Z3 t2 t3 Tx Rx & Td & Tw Channel in service OR

42. 42 Blocking Scheme  Advantages  Provides better resistive coverage than PUR on short lines where MHO elements are used  Fast tripping will still be possible at closed end of line for all fault positions with remote breaker open or conductor snapping  Fast tripping will still be possible at strong in-feed terminal for all fault positions where remote terminal has no or weak in-feed  Disadvantages  One zone has to be dedicated for blocking signal sending  If signalling channel fails then only Basic scheme logic will apply  Current sensitivity is lower as tripping elements (Z2) are controlled by high set current level detectors (to ensure blocking elements Z3 is designed more sensitive than tripping elements)

43. 43  Permissive less reliable - require a signal from remote relay plus local operation to trip  Blocking less secure - require a signal from remote relay to prevent a trip  Permissive schemes are marginally faster and more sensitive (timer plus high set current elements on Blocking scheme) Permissive schemes Vs Blocking schemes

44. 44 Switch On to Fault  Provided for high speed Clearance of any fault detected immediately following manual closure of the Circuit breaker  Enabled for 500ms after CB closure  Provided only for manual closure  Over current element used to trip the CB instantaneously for 500ms,where maintenace Earthswitch are left closed
