Modeling and Simulation of the Power Transformer Faults and Related Protective Relay Behavior
نویسندگان
چکیده
The modeling of power transformer faults and its application to performance evaluation of a commercial digital power transformer relay are the objective of this study. A new method to build an EMTP/ATP power transformer model is proposed in this paper. Detailed modeling of the transformer relay is also discussed. The transient waveforms generated by ATP under different operating conditions are utilized to evaluate the performance of the transformer relay. The computer simulation results presented in this paper are consistent with the laboratory test result obtained using an analog power system model.

A New Restricted Earth Fault Relay Based on Artificial Intelligence
The restricted earth fault (REF) relay is a type of differential protection which is used for detection of internal ground faults of power transformers. But, during external faults and transformer energization conditions, the probability of current transformer (CT) saturation increases. Thus, the spurious differential current due to CT saturation, can lead to REF relay maloperation. In this pap...

متن کاملA New Atp Add-on for Modeling Internal Faults in Power Transformers
The more sophisticated a protection algorithm, the more information on both steady-state and transient behavior of a protected element required for proper designing, setting and testing of a given relay. In the case of a power transformer, the most important phenomena to be modeled from the standpoint of protective relaying are: magnetizing inrush including initial, recovery and sympathetic inr...
