This paper describes the improvement method of distance relaying algorithm for the underground transmission cables. Distance relaying algorithms have been mainly developing to protect the overhead transmission lines than the underground cables. If the cable systems are directly protected using distance relaying algorithm developed for overhead line without any improvement, there will be really occurred many misoperation in cable systems, because the cable systems consist of the conductor, the sheath, several grounding method, cable cover protection units(CCPUs), and grounding wire. Accordingly, the complicated phenomena are occurred, if there is a fault in cable systems. Therefore, to develope a correct distance relaying algorithm, such cable characteristics should be taken into account. This paper presents the process to improve distance relaying algorithm which is now used. REal cable system was selected to establish modeling in EMTP and ATP Draw. It was discovered through the detailed simulation during the fault that the large error existed between impedance measured at the relay point and real impedance is due to the resistance of grounding wire in each grounding method. And also compensation factor obtained by the simulation is proposed in this paper. It is proved that the factor proposed can fairly improve the accuracy of impedance at the relay point. It is evaluated that the protective ability will be really much improved, if the algorithm proposed in this paper is applied for cable systems of utility.

This paper proposes an advanced distance relaying based on the DC offset removal filter to minimize the effects of DC offset on a double circuit transmission line. The proposed DC offset removal filter uses only one cycle of data for phasor extraction computation, which does not need to preset the time constant of the DC offset component. This proposed distance relaying uses not only the residual current of the faulted circuit but also mutual current of the healthy adjacent circuit. A series of off-line test results using ATP simulation data show the effectiveness of the an advanced distance relaying.

Distance relay is widely used for the protection of long transmission line. Most of distance relay used to calculate line impedance by measuring voltage and current using DFT. So if there is a computation error due to the influence of phasor by DC offset component, due to excessive vibration by measuring line impedance, overreach or underreach can be occurs, and then abnormal and non-operation of distance relay can be issue. It is very important to implement the robust distance relaying that is not affected by DC offset component. This paper describes an enhanced distance relaying based on the DC offset elimination filter to minimize the effects of DC offset on a long transmission line. The proposed DC offset elimination filter has not need any prior information. The phase angle delay of the proposed DC offset filter did not occurred and the gain error was not found. The enhanced distance relay uses fault current as well as residual current. The behavior of the proposed distance relaying using off-line simulation has been verified using data about several fault conditions generated by the ATP simulation software.

In this study, Kalman filtering theory is applied to the estimation of symmetrical components from fault voltage and current signal when it comes to faults with the power system. An algorithm for estimating fault location accurately and quickly by calculating the symmetrical components from the extracted fundamental voltage phasor and current phasor is presented. Also, to confirm the validity of digital distance relaying techniques using Kalman filtering, the experimental results obtained by using the digital simulation of power system is shown.

A high speed digital distance relaying algorithm based on a least square error method is proposed. To obtain stable phasor values very quickly, first, a lowpass filter which has very short transient period and no overshoot is presented. Secondly, the least square error method having the data window of 3 samples is used by applying a FIR filter which removes the DC-offset component in current relaying signals. Test results show that the proposed distance relaying algorithm detects most of internal faults within a half cycle after faults in a 154[kV] overhead transmission line system.

A new typed distance relaying scheme is proposed. Artificial neural networks are applied to the distance relaying system composed of pattern recognition based. The proposed distance relaying scheme have the two block of pattern recognition stages to estimate the fundamental frequency and to classify the fault types. The advantage of this approach is demonstrated by the random waves and the fault transient wave signals of EMTP(electromagnetic transients program) in power systems fault conditions. The proposed method is compared with the conventional method and the simulation results show the efficiency of the neural networks.

It has always been of great importance in the electrical power system to educate an algorithm on the digital relaying, but it is difficult to educate an algorithm of a digital distance relay on power system because of exclusiveness of the relaying algorithm on power system. Therefore, we need a digital distance relay simulator, which can simulate the algorithm of the digital relaying on transmission line. In this Paper, we extract fundamental components using digital signal processing from data which are a variety of the simulated faults by EMTP. Then this simulator represents instantaneous values, ms values and symmetrical components that are calculated by fundamental components of voltages and currents. The Simulator also represents the zones of a digital distance relay and the locus of an impedance using GUI. Consequently, the developed simulator is particularly useful for understanding of the fundamental concepts of a distance relaying algorithm from a power system engineer points of view.

This paper presents a distance relaying algorithm for transmission line compensated with Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC). The compensation voltage driven by SSSC is calculated from the line current measured at a relaying point Then the compensation voltage is subtracted from the voltage measured by the relay. We can apply conventional distance relaying algorithm with this subtracted voltage to locate a fault. The results of case studies using EMTP (Electro-Magnetic Transient Program) show the proposed algorithm has higher precision.

A digital distance relaying algorithm immune to the effect of the fault resistance in single-phase to ground fault is proposed. The power frequency components of relaying signals are extracted by the 1 cycle DFT. To compensate the magnitude and phase of the estimated impedance, which is calculated by the general method, this algorithm uses phase difference between the zero sequence impedance of networks on both sided of the system.
