In DC power distribution system for urban rail transits potential relay, 64P, is used to detect the ground faults. The problem with this 64P is that though it detects the ground fault it cannot identify the faulted region. Therefore the faulted region cannot be isolated properly. It could results in power loss of the trains on the healthy regions and the safety of the passengers in the trains could be affected adversely. A new ground fault protective relaying scheme that can identify the faulted region is presented in this paper. The new concept uses the current differential scheme and the permissive scheme to identify the faulted region correctly. A device with similar characteristic to the arrestor is adapted to use the current relay for the ground fault detection. The role of the device is to block the ground leakage current in normal operating condition and enable the ground fault current to flow in ground fault condition. The algorithm of the new relay and the effect of the newly adapted device in the new relaying scheme are discussed.

In this paper an intelligent power transformer protective relaying algorithm based on Fuzzy Decision-Making is presented. The introduced protection algorithm contains several internal fuzzy rule-bases including bpa(Basic Probability Assignment: m) which are subject to off-line pre-installation by the analysis of the transformer transient characteristics for detecting the internal fault. Dempster-Shafer's rule of combination is used for the inference method with rules to decide the situation of a transformer, The proposed algorithm immunes to the saturation of transformer, inrush conditions, over excitation, and external fault. The included results of testing show practically sufficient sensitivity and selectivity of the proposed algorithm.

This paper propose a transformer protective relaying algorithm based on the increment of flux linkages (RIFL) of the Primary and secondary windings. The RIFL is equal to the turn ratio for all operating conditions except an internal faults. For a single-phase transformer and three-phase Y-Y transformer, the increments of flux linkages are calculated and their ratios are compared with the turn ratio. For a three-phase Y-$\triangle$ transformer, the difference of the increments of flux linkages are calculated to use the line currents instead of the delta winding currents, which are practically unavailable. Their ratios are compared with the turn ratio. The results of various tests show that the algorithm successfully discriminates internal faults from normal operation conditions such as magnetic inrush and overexcitation. The algorithm can not only detect internal winding faults, but reduce the relay's operating time.

This paper proposes a tree-winding transformer protective relaying algorithm based on the ratio of increment of flux linkages (RIFL). The RIFL of the two windings is equal to the turns ratio for all operating conditions except an internal faults. For a single-phase transformer and three-phase transformer containing the wye-connected windings, the increments of flux linkages are calculated. for a three-phase transformer containing the delta-connected windings, the difference of the increments of flux linkages between the two phases are calculated using the line currents, because the winding currents are practically unavailable. Their ratios are compared with the turns ratio. The results of various tests show that the algorithm successfully discriminates internal faults from normal operation conditions such as magnetic inrush, overexcitation and external faults. The algorithm can not only detect internal winding faults, but reduce the operating time of a relay.

In this paper, a new 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 has two blocks of pattern recognition stages to estimate the fundamental frequency and to classify the fault types. In the first block, a filtering method using neural networks called a neural networks mapping filter(NMF) is presented to efficiently extract the features. And in the sec'ond block, the estimator called neural networks fault pattern estimator(NFPE) is also presented to classify the fault types by the extracted effective features obtained from NMF. Each block of these applied schemes is trained by back-propagation algorithm of multilayer perceptron and show the fast and accurate pattern recognition by ability of multilayer neural networks. The test result of this approach are obtained the good performance from the fault transient wave signals of EMTP(e1ectromagnetic transients program) in the various fault conditions of power systems.

This paper describes the correction of the protective relay equipped in the dedicated line used for connecting distributed generators (DG) to power grid. The fault current measured in a relaying point might be changed according to the fault conditions. Generally, the fault current of the line to line fault or the line to ground fault at the dedicated line is much higher than the protective set value due to the large fault level. However. when the high impedance fault is occurred in the dedicated line, we may not detect it because its fault level can be lower than the generating capacity of DG. And, the protective relay with conventional set value may generate a trip signal for insertion of DG due to the large transient characteristics of generators. Through the various simulations such as the fault in the dedicated line and the insertion of DG, we show that it would be necessary to modify the protective relay set value for detecting the high impedance fault occurred in the dedicated line and for preventing the mis-operation of protective relay caused by the insertion of DG.

In this paper, we propose a distance relaying algorithm using a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT)-based modified phasor estimation method to eliminate the adverse influence of exponentially decaying DC offsets. Most distance relays are based on estimating phasors of the voltage and current signals. A DFT is generally used to calculate the phasor of the fundamental frequency component in digital protective relays. However, the output of the DFT contains an error due to exponentially decaying DC offsets. For this reason, distance relays have a tendency to over-reach or under-reach in the presence of DC offset components in a fault current. Therefore, the decaying DC components should be taken into consideration when calculating the phasor of the fundamental frequency component of a relaying signal. The error due to DC offsets in a DFT is calculated and eliminated using the outputs of an even-sample-set DFT and an odd-sample-set DFT, so that the phasor of the fundamental component can be accurately estimated. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated for a-phase to ground faults on a 345 kV, 50 km, simple overhead transmission line. The Electromagnetic Transient Program (EMTP) is used to generate fault signals. The evaluation results indicate that adopting the proposed algorithm in distance relays can effectively suppress the adverse influence of DC offsets.
