A New Ultra High Speed Distance Relaying Method Using Travelling Wave Technique

진행파 기법을 이용한 새로운 초고속 거리계전 방식

This paper proposes a new distance relaying method based on fault initiated travelling waves for transmission line protection. The characteristics of this method are ultra high speed and excellent sensitivity. Travelling wave technique which is one of the distance relaying methods uses the discrete cross correlation function for discrimination between internal and external fault is remarkably reduced in case of a close up fault and an inception angle near or equal to zero fault. To cope with this problem, a new fast algorithm which uses backward wave summation method with fixed window is presented. The proposed method has been tested by numerical simulations using the EMTP.
