Desirable Protection Attributes

Reliability: System operate properly
Security: Dont trip when you shouldnt Dependability: Trip when you should
Selectivity: Trip the minimal amount to clear the fault or abnormal operating condition
Speed: Usually the faster the better in terms of minimizing equipment damage and maintaining system integrity Simplicity: KISS
Economics: Dont break the bank
15

Art & Science of Protection

Selection of protective relays requires compromises: Maximum and Reliable protection at minimum equipment cost High Sensitivity to faults and insensitivity to maximum load currents High-speed fault clearance with correct selectivity Selectivity in isolating small faulty area
Ability to operate correctly under all predictable power system conditions
16
Multilin
Art & Science of Protection

Cost of protective relays should be balanced against risks involved if protection is not sufficient and not enough redundancy. Primary objectives is to have faulted zones primary protection operate first, but if there are protective relays failures, some form of backup protection is provided. Backup protection is local (if local primary protection fails to clear fault) and remote (if remote protection fails to operate to clear fault)
17
Multilin
Primary Equipment & Components

Transformers - to step up or step down voltage level Breakers - to energize equipment and interrupt fault current to isolate faulted equipment Insulators - to insulate equipment from ground and other phases Isolators (switches) - to create a visible and permanent isolation of primary equipment for maintenance purposes and route power flow over certain buses. Bus - to allow multiple connections (feeders) to the same source of power (transformer).
18
Multilin
Primary Equipment & Components

Grounding - to operate and maintain equipment safely Arrester - to protect primary equipment of sudden overvoltage (lightning strike). Switchgear integrated components to switch, protect, meter and control power flow
Reactors - to limit fault current (series) or compensate for charge current (shunt)
VT and CT - to measure primary current and voltage and supply scaled down values to P&C, metering, SCADA, etc. Regulators - voltage, current, VAR, phase angle, etc.

Types of Protection
Overcurrent Uses current to determine magnitude of fault
Simple May employ definite time or inverse time curves May be slow Selectivity at the cost of speed (coordination stacks) Inexpensive May use various polarizing voltages or ground current for directionality Communication aided schemes make more selective

Instantaneous Overcurrent Protection (IOC) & Definite Time Overcurrent

Relay closest to fault operates first Relays closer to source operate slower Time between operating for same current is called CTI (Clearing Time Interval)

(TOC) Coordination

Distribution Substation 22
Multilin
Time Overcurrent Protection (TOC)

Selection of the curves uses what is termed as a time multiplier or time dial to effectively shift the curve up or down on the time axis
Operate region lies above selected curve, while no-operate region lies below it
Inverse curves can approximate fuse curve shapes

Zone Overlap
1. Overlap is accomplished by the locations of CTs, the key source for protective relays.
2.
In some cases a fault might involve a CT or a circuit breaker itself, which means it can not be cleared until adjacent breakers (local or remote) are opened.

Current Transformers
Current transformers are used to step primary system currents to values usable by relays, meters, SCADA, transducers, etc. CT ratios are expressed as primary to secondary; 2000:5, 1200:5, 600:5, 300:5 A 2000:5 CT has a CTR of 400
61
Multilin
Standard IEEE CT Relay Accuracy

IEEE relay class is defined in terms of the voltage a CT can deliver at 20 times the nominal current rating without exceeding a 10% composite ratio error.
For example, a relay class of C100 on a 1200:5 CT means that the CT can develop 100 volts at 24,000 primary amps (1200*20) without exceeding a 10% ratio error. Maximum burden = 1 ohm.
100 V = 20 * 5 * (1ohm) 200 V = 20 * 5 * (2 ohms) 400 V = 20 * 5 * (4 ohms) 800 V = 20 * 5 * (8 ohms)

System Grounding
Limits overvoltages Limits difference in electric potential through local area conducting objects Several methods
Ungrounded Reactance Coil Grounded High Z Grounded Low Z Grounded Solidly Grounded
70
Multilin
System Grounding
1. Ungrounded: There is no intentional ground applied to the systemhowever its grounded through natural capacitance. Found in 2.415kV systems.
2. Reactance Grounded: Total system capacitance is cancelled by equal inductance. This decreases the current at the fault and limits voltage across the arc at the fault to decrease damage.
X0 <= 10 * X1
71
Multilin
System Grounding
3. High Resistance Grounded: Limits ground fault current to 10A-20A. Used to limit transient overvoltages due to arcing ground faults. R0 <= X0C/3, X0C is capacitive zero sequence reactance
4. Low Resistance Grounded: To limit current to 25-400A

R0 >= 2X0
72
Multilin
System Grounding
5. Solidly Grounded: There is a connection of transformer or generator neutral directly to station ground.
Effectively Grounded: R0 <= X1, X0 <= 3X1, where R is the system fault resistance

A Good Day in System Protection

CTs and VTs bring electrical info to relays Relays sense current and voltage and declare fault Relays send signals through control circuits to circuit breakers Circuit breaker(s) correctly trip
What Could Go Wrong Here????

94
Multilin
A Bad Day in System Protection

CTs or VTs are shorted, opened, or their wiring is Relays do not declare fault due to setting errors, faulty relay, CT saturation Control wires cut or batteries dead so no signal is sent from relay to circuit breaker Circuit breakers do not have power, burnt trip coil or otherwise fail to trip
Protection Systems Typically are Designed for N-1

Bus differential protection (this reduces the arc flash energy by reducing the clearing time Zone interlock schemes where bus relay selectively is allowed to trip or block depending on location of faults as identified from feeder relays Temporary setting changes to reduce clearing time during maintenance
Sacrifices coordination
