Line Protection: From Phasors to Traveling Waves

Karl ZimmermanTechnical Support Director

Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc.

Example 100 Mile Transmission Line

Z1S = 2 Ω 88° Z1L1 = Z1L2 = 8 Ω 84° Z1R = 2 Ω 88°Z0S = 2 Ω 88° Z0L1 = Z0L2 = 24 Ω 80° Z0R = 2 Ω 88°

Z0M = 16 Ω 78°

Focus for Today

• Benefits of faster line protection

• Limitations of present-day phasor-based protection

• Principles of time-domain protection

• New Time-Domain Line Protection Relay

Already Pretty Fast – Why Faster?

• Higher power transfers(investment dollars saved)

• Reduced equipment wear (generators and transformers)

• Improved safety

• Reduced property damage

• Improved power quality

3

How Much Faster?

• Present-day relays

Based on phasors

Operate in 0.5–1.5 cycles

• Present-day breakers operate in 2 cycles

• Ultra-high-speed fault clearing

Consistent relay operating times

2 ms (TW) to 4 ms (differential equations)

Subcycle times from future dc breakers

Phasor-Based Protection Makes Sense

• Power systems were traditionally designed and modeled for steady-state operation at system frequency

• “Forcing functions” are at system frequency

• Instrument transformers are rated at system frequency

• CCVTs are band-pass devices

4

Speed of Present-Day Relays

• Phasors represent steady state

• Determining steady state takes time

This is what we know if we trip in 0.5 cycles

Speed of Present-Day Relays

• Phasors represent steady state

• Determining steady state takes time

5

Speed of Present-Day Relays

• Phasors represent steady state

• Determining steady state takes time

• Shorter windows are faster but less accurate
