The document proposes a new busbar protection scheme that uses two techniques:
1. One technique uses three-phase alienation coefficients to perform fault detection, identify the faulty phase, and discriminate between internal and external faults within half a cycle.
2. The second technique adapts the differential relay characteristics during periods of current transformer saturation to avoid incorrect operation during external faults. It uses alienation coefficients to evaluate the degree of distortion in the secondary current caused by current transformer saturation for external faults.
The techniques are evaluated using simulations of a 19.57 kV busbar in ATP/EMTP and Matlab, and the results demonstrate the accurate operation of the proposed scheme for different fault types.
