In this paper present Autonomous Adaptive Digital Over Current Relay for distribution networks which acts autonomous setting using the short circuit impedance measured by relay of power systems. Automation of relay setting is one of the basic requirements for distribution automation, although manual relay setting is used at present. The short circuit impedance from a power source in distribution networks essential for the Autonomous Relay Setting changes frequently in distribution networks. In this paper the short circuit impedance is calculated with voltage and current measured in real time operation of digital relay using the Recursive Least Squares. A new method of digital relay setting is introduced using the the short circuit impedance and load current.

Digital technology has advanced very significantly over the years both in terms of software tools and hardware available. It is now applied extensively in many area of electrical engineering including protective relaying in power systems. Digital relays based on digital technology have many advantages over the traditional analog relays. The digital relay is able to do what is difficult or impossible in the analog relays. However, the complex algorithms associated with the digital relays are difficult to test and verify in real time on real power systems. Although non real-time simulators like PSCAD/EMTDC are employed to test the algorithms, such simulations have the disadvantage that they cannot test the relay dynamically. Hence, real-time simulators like RTDS are used, but the latter needs large space and it is very expensive. This paper uses EMTP MODELS to simulate the power system and the distance relay. The distance relay algorithm is constructed and the distance relay is interfaced with a test power system. The distance relays performance is then assessed interactively under various fault types, fault distances and fault inception angles. The test results show that we can simulate the distance relay effectively and we can examine the operation of the distance relay very closely including debugging by using EMTP MODELS.

Recently, in power system, even though the needs of digital protection relay are highly increased, there are some problem in the field during apply digital protection relay. When the relay are in the fluctuated overload condition, existing algorithm calculate the trip time only with the measured current of just previous stage, and when the load current fluctuate between overload and normal condition, existing algorithm sometimes dose not make the relay trip. This thesis will study about these kinds of existing algorithm problem in digital protection relay, and will suggest the best suited algorithm for digital protection relay in fluctuated overload condition.

In this paper, the fault analysis program that is convenient to analyse fault records of a digital relay and to set a digital relay is described. The key feature of this fault analysis program is as follows. - analysing fault records stored in a local PC and/or a digital relay - analysing events - setting a digital relay. This program is for a digital bus protection relay using a conventional variable percentage current differential relaying algorithm. So this program adds a function analysing the characteristic of each variable percentage current differential function and the connection state of the transmission lines at double-bus system.

The existing digital protection relay is continuously growing with an improvement in technology. In this paper, we propose the development of the digital protection relay which displays the trip area in real time. In most of the digital protection relays monitor whether analog signal enters into the pre-determined trip area, but those aren't provide the trip area information for a operator in real time. Therefore, if the digital protection relay continuously displays the trip area in real time, the operator analysis power system status easily. This paper particularly introduces selective ground protective relay and differential protective relay with trip area and presents a method of providing the trip area information to operator in real time.

Digital protective relay in power system play a prominent part. Simulators for the relay test were introduced in early 1980's. A number of open loop designs have been developed and recently, several developments of real-time simulators have been reported. But they are very high cost. And then they are difficult to apply for relay testing in small business. This paper presents the structure of low cost and performance of a new pc based tester for digital protective relay testing. The proposed tester was simulated of off-line with fault transient signals obtained from EMTP.

Protection and control systems play a prominent part in avoiding power delivery interruptions and help to get a fast and secure restoration when a failure occurs. In order to meet the higher functional requirements on modern power system, protection speed, selectivity, sensitivity, dependability, and security are essential to ensure reliability. These functions on be satisfied by taking advantage of microprocessor and communication technologies, and digital protection relays (systems) have been developed and applied to real power system enhancing reliability and saving money. It is necessary to have a tool to analyze the functions and algorithms of digital relays for installing them to power system. The purpose of this study is to develop a digital relay simulation program to estimate digital relay performances during system faults. Components of digital protective relay including analog filter, sampling unit, digital filter, and relay logic are modeled in this program.

In the distribution system, Change of system happens frequently. However, most of the relays are operated manually by a person or not changed when system changed. So, when fault happened, a case that relaydoes not act rapidly happens. Also, in current power system, digital relays are used because of digitization of relay. Digital relay has very many advantages than existing analog relay. One of these advantages is that communication is available and easily can make characteristic curve. If specific values are sent to a relay by communication, A relay can make suitable characteristic curve according to the value. In this paper, by using voltages and currents measured by relay, state of CB(Circuit Breaker) and these relays, SCADA(Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) system that control and correct characteristic curve of overcurrent relay at system change by using HMI(Human Machine Interface) is proposed.

This paper introduces the development of automatic system for estimation of digital relay performance. We have developed an automatic estimation system "HRV2004(Himap Relay function Verifier 2004)" for digital relay in 2004 and it has been verified in the field for one years. This paper describes the development details and field experience of HRV2004. HRV2004 can perform a series of jobs required for the relay testing in one environment and could handle most of all models of protective relay currently produced by Hyundai Heavy Industries. The functionality of this program consists of GUI of relay setting for beginner, fault record analysis and relay performance estimation. The core of this system is an automatic reporting of estimation test. If user is only click a button for relay estimation and one will received testing report to deliver customer. Additional benefit is fast response than the manual estimation. For example, the manual estimation takes spending 6 hours but this system is about 15 minutes.
