In long-distance transmission lines, the distributed parameter characteristic of the EHV network is obvious. When a fault occurs far away from the measurement site, the measured impedance might not be directly proportional to the fault distance, and the protection domain of distance protection will be decreased. The detailed theory inferred and proven in this paper reveals that this phenomenon is widespread in EHV transmission lines. The results indicate that the protection domain error is greatly reduced by the application of the shunt reactor. Overall, simulation results show that the proposed method is effective for impedance relay, considering different characteristics, different lengths of lines, and compensation degrees.展开更多

The method is based on one-terminal voltage and current data and is used in a procedure that provides the automatic determination of faulted types and phases, rather than requires engineer to specify them. The loop and nodal equations comparing the faulted phase to non-faulted phases of multi-parallel lines are introduced in the fault location estimation models, in which source impedance of remote end is not involved. Precise algorithms of locating fault are derived. The effect of load flow and fault resistance,on the location accuracy, are effectively eliminated. The algorithms are demonstrated by digital computer simulations.展开更多

Reclosing of circuit breaker (CB) after a pre-defined dead time is very common however reclosing onto permanent faults may damage the power system stability and aggravate severe damage to the system. Thus, adaptive single-phase auto-reclosing (ASPAR) based on investigating existing electrical signals has fascinated engineers and researchers. An ASPAR blocks CB reclosing onto permanent faults and allows reclosing permission once secondary arc is quenched. To address the subject, there have been many ASPARs techniques proposed based on the features trapped in a faulty phase. This paper presents a critical survey of adaptive auto-reclosing schemes that have hitherto been applied to EHV transmission lines.展开更多
