摘要:
The system for determining protection quality of a protective relay and related functions of the protection system include obtaining information concerning the output status of the various protective elements in the relay. The status of various operations in the protective element are also evaluated against specific standards. The operation of supervisory and control elements affecting the action protective elements are also evaluated. Other aspects of the relay, including the availability of the relay and the operation of the voltage and current transformers are also evaluated. In addition, associated aspects such as the status of the communication channels, the station voltage availability and the condition of the trip and close circuits are monitored. All of the above is analyzed in a summary report to provide an indication of protection quality for the relay and associated protection system functions.

A bus-tie relay apparatus which includes a multi-position mechanical switch (54) and a logic circuit (56) responsive to the position of the mechanical switch (54) for producing digital signals on five digital lines (58), wherein a valid digital signal comprises the presence of high conditions on two, and two only, of said digital lines (58). A sensor (80) senses the condition of the digital lines (58) and retrieves the values of a relay element setting group from memory associated with that digital signal. A plurality of such relay element setting groups are stored in the apparatus, each one of which comprises values corresponding to the characteristics of an inplace relay associated with a particular one transmission line in a group thereof.

A directional element measures the negative sequence voltage and the negative sequence current and from those quantities produces a scalar quantity related to the negative sequence impedance of a power transmission line relative to the location of the directional element. The scalar quantity is then compared against two threshold quantity settings, one to determine a forward fault, the other to determine a reverse fault. The scalar quantity must be less than the forward threshold quantity for a forward fault and greater than the reverse threshold quantity for a reverse fault.

A directional element measures the negative sequence voltage and the negative sequence current and from those quantities produces a scalar quantity related to the negative sequence impedance of a power transmission line relative to the location of the directional element. The magnitude of the negative sequence impedance is calculated from the magnitude of the negative sequence voltage and magnitude of the negative sequence current. The scalar quantity is then compared against two threshold quantity settings, one to determine a forward fault and the other to determine a reverse fault. The threshold quantity settings include, respectively, a selected fraction of preselected basic threshold values and a selected fraction of the magnitude of the negative sequence impedance. The scalar quantity must be less than the forward threshold quantity for a forward fault and greater than the reverse threshold quantity for a reverse fault.
摘要:
The polarizing potential transfer switch system takes advantage of an existing loss-of-potential (LOP) circuit (32) in a power transmission line protective system to differentiate between a trip signal produced by the distance elements in a protective relay (22) due to the operation of the transfer switch and a true fault condition. This is accomplished by a logic circuit (40) which includes a first timer (58) which permits the operator of the transfer switch (10) five seconds to complete the potential transfer operation between two buses (14 and 16) and a second timer (68) which gives the LOP circuit (32) a selected number of cycles in which to block a trip signal produced by the distance elements in the relay (22).

The system includes a plurality of protection application elements to accomplish various power system protection functions, including for example line protection, line fault location, current direction determination, breaker protection and synchronism check, among others. The system includes local sources of current and voltage information for the protective functions as well as a receiving section for receiving such current and voltage values from a remote source, such as another protection device, as well as other necessary input information for the protective functions. A selection logic section is responsive to the output of the protective function elements, as well as the local and remote data to determine whether the primary or local sources are to be used. The outputs of the protective function elements are used by an output section to control circuit breakers and the like and are also transmitted, with the local and remote source quantities, to other protective devices.
摘要:
Voltage comparisons are made for each of the phase-phase voltages on a low side of a distribution transformer in a power system against a threshold, approximately 0.7 nominal secondary voltage, which is less than the value of at least one phase-phase voltage when only one high side fuse has operated. High outputs result when the phase-phase voltages exceed the threshold. At the same time voltage comparisons are made of each of the phase-phase low side voltages and a second threshold, approximately 0.2 nominal secondary voltage, which is substantially less than the first threshold. High outputs result when the voltages are below the threshold. A circuit output is provided which can be used to trip a low side circuit breaker when at least one output of the first comparisons is high and at least one output of the second comparisons is high.
摘要:
The angle between the negative sequence and zero sequence currents for a power signal on a transmission line is measured and compared against a plurality of successive angle ranges from 0.degree. to 360.degree.. If the angle is 0.degree..+-.30.degree., an AG fault is indicated and a first section output is produced blocking ground elements BG and CG and phase-to-phase elements AB and CA. An angle of 120.degree..+-.30.degree. indicates a BG fault, resulting in a second output blocking ground elements AG and CG and phase-to-phase elements AB and BC, while a phase angle of 240.degree..+-.30.degree. indicates a CG fault, resulting in a third output blocking ground elements AG and BG and phase-to-phase elements BC and CA. If the phase angle is not covered by the above three primary ranges, then a second stage of comparisons are made, including determining the magnitudes of the phase-to-phase distance elements, and then comparing the phase-to-phase resistance of the lowest of those with the apparent resistance of the one ground element, i.e. AG, BG or CG, associated with the non-primary (secondary) range of angles which includes the measured phase angle. If selected criteria are met, then an output is asserted to block the ground and phase-to-phase elements noted above associated with that ground element.
摘要:
The system first identifies the existence of a fault involving ground using the phase angle difference between negative sequence and zero sequence current on the power line. Phase angle differences within three specific ranges provide an indication of the presence of particular faults. Once a particular fault has been identified, such as a BC-to-ground fault, the fault condition is monitored to determine if the fault evolves, such as to a C-to-ground fault from the BC-to-ground fault. If an evolution is recognized, the protective relay is reset so as to coordinate its operation with downstream protective elements for the evolved fault.
摘要:
The system impedance ratio (SIR) is determined for the original zone 1 distance element reach of a protective relay. The reduction in the original zone 1 reach is then determined, using the SIR value and a known table of reduced values. When a fault is recognized the minimum reach to just detect the fault is determined. A trip signal is provided without any delay if the minimum reach is less than or equal to the reduced reach. The trip is delayed for a selected time if the minimum reach is greater than the reduced reach but not greater than the original reach.
