    摘要: A method detects a fault on a line of an electrical power supply system, in which current values are measured at the line ends of the line and the current values are used to check whether there is a fault on the line. In order to perform monitoring of the line such that faults can be detected comparatively quickly and sensitively, it is proposed that voltage values are also measured at the line ends. The respective measured current and voltage values are used to ascertain respective comparison current values indicating the current flowing at a comparison location on the line and the respective comparison current values are used to check for the presence of a fault on the line, and a fault signal is generated if the check has resulted in a fault present on the line being detected.

    摘要: A method in a power system which includes a protected unit, such as a transmission line, adapted to convey power from a first position in the protected unit to a second position in the protected unit, or vice versa, via a plurality of conductors. A first travelling wave differential current (ITWdiff) is determined based on a comparison between a determined first travelling wave current or a second travelling wave current in first and second positions and an estimation of the first travelling wave current or the second travelling wave current, respectively. The estimation is carried out using a propagation function which takes into account any distortion, attenuation and/or delay of the waveform of a wave due to propagation of the wave in the protected unit. A second or normalized travelling wave differential current (ITWdiff) is determined by means of, based on the propagation function, adjusting at least one of magnitude and phase of the first travelling wave differential current such that all modes attain equal or increasingly equal modal characteristics. The method may facilitate or enable mitigating or even eliminating any false differential current in elements of a travelling wave differential current vector which correspond to healthy conductors, caused by coupling effects between conductors.

    摘要: The invention provides a method and apparatus for detecting communication channel delay asymmetry between transmission line protection devices. The method comprises: calculating, repeatedly, clock disparity between clocks of the protection devices and communication delays at different paths of the communication channel; comparing the latest calculated clock disparity and communication delays with previously calculated clock disparities and communication delays, respectively; determining a channel switching has happened if a change of the calculated clock disparity exceeds a first threshold, or a change of the calculated communication delays for any path exceeds a second threshold; and determining the channel delays as asymmetrical if a difference between the calculated communication delays of the different paths after the channel switching exceeds a third threshold.

    摘要: According to one embodiment, a protective relay performs the following steps. A/D converter 11 acquires an electric current of a power transmission line 4 via a CT 5. A computing part 12 performs various protection computations such as current differential computation using a current data measured at the end of itself and a current data measured at the opposite end. A transmitting and receiving circuit 13 transmits the current data of itself to the other protective relay 1 at the opposite end via a transmission path 3. A received level detection part 14 detects the received level of the transmission data that has been transmitted from the opposite end and received by the transmitting and receiving circuit 13. A transmission level control part 15, based on the difference between the received level that has been detected within a definite time t1 after the establishment of data transmission to the other protective relay 1 and a predetermined received level, performs transmission level reduction control after the passage of the definite time t1.

    摘要: Active pilot wire apparatus for replacing a passive continuous metallic wire pair coupling between the electromechanical units of a conventional electromechanical pilot wire protective relay is disclosed. For the protection of a power line section, an electromechanical unit is coupled to each end thereof. Each electromechanical unit includes an operating relay coil which when energized operates breaker contacts to interrupt current through the protected power line section. A signal representative of the potential across the operating coil of each electromechanical unit is transmitted through an active communication channel to the other electromechanical unit where it is buffered by a high impedance amplifier. In each case, the output signal of the buffer amplifier is representative substantially of the corresponding operating relay coil potential. An impedance element is coupled between each buffer amplifier and the other operating relay coil. Current is diverted from the operating relay coil of each electromechanical unit through the corresponding coupled impedance element in accordance with the potential of the signals coupled thereacross. The active pilot wire apparatus may be extended to the coupling of a plurality of electromechanical units to form a current differential protective relay operative to protect against faults in a corresponding plurality of sets of power lines with each set constituting a current path of a power system network.
