This paper presents a study of the performance of distance protection relays when series compensation (SC) is inserted on double circuit transmission line high voltage (HV) 400 kV in Algeria (Group Sonelgaz). The relays setting for distance protection is considered as a great challenge to power system protection engineers. Special considerations on the transmission line impedance measurement ar...

This article presents a phased array antenna employing MEMS phase shifter. The proposed phased array antenna consists of eight square patch antennas operating at 10.4 GHz with a bandwidth of 400 MHz. Feed line for each patch passes through a MEMS phase shifter realized by a series of bridges above the transmission line. The distance between the bridge and the transmission line underneath it is ...

Determining the fault location using conventional impedance based distance relay in the presence of FACTS controllers is a challenging task in a transmission line. A new distance protection method is developed to locate the fault in a transmission line compensated with STATCOM with simple calculations. The proposed protection method considers the STATCOM injected/absorbed current to correct the...

Subsynchronous Resonance (SSR) is a growing problem in power systems having series compensated transmission lines. Subsynchronous resonance with low frequency that surpasses aggregate fatigue threshold of the generator shaft frequently could significantly reduce the shaft service life, which is a new problem that emerges in recent years. Flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) controllers are ...

For an inductive power transfer system, high quality factor means that the system can obtain large theoretical transmission efficiency. In this paper, a method of coil optimization in limited space to improve for series-series compensated is presented. High be achieved by determining optimal number turns with equal turn spacing coil, and then optimizing distance between adjacent turn. The resul...

A new one-end fault location algorithm designated for series-compensated transmission lines is delivered in this paper. It is based on differential equation approach, which allows good reflection of the dynamic phenomena relevant for faults occurring behind the bank of series capacitors (SCs) equipped with metal oxide varistors (MOVs). As a result of that, a good stabilisation of the estimation...

In this article, we demonstrate that in the case of a positive group velocity left-handed nonlinear (LH-NL) transmission line with series nonlinear capacitances, the spatial derivative of the voltage distribution satisfies the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. Consequently, it will shown that a LH-NL transmission line with series varactors can be used to generate both bright and dark solito...

This paper presents a mathematical deterministic adaptive distance protection formulation for UPFC compensated transmission lines. The proposed formulation is developed using a phase component approach and considers and compensates for various UPFC operation conditions and non-zero fault resistances. The proposed methodology is completely adaptive and independent of system characteristics (such...
