This paper is concerned with development of a technique for performance prediction of current transformers (CT), accurately. In this technique, a new optimized model from view-point of both computation time and memory is introduced in order to simulate the current transformers on digital computers. The introduced software in this paper in combination with relay tester equipments can be used ins...

Relay operations during cascading events play an important role for the power system stability. Without knowing the whole system information, distance relay may make wrong decision from the view of system reliability since it operates only according to local measurements. This paper introduces an improved transmission line protection scheme during cascading events. It utilizes the interactive m...

Electric utilities are expanding communications infrastructure due to increased need for information. Due to performance, price, and technological advances, digital communication systems are frequently chosen as this multiple user data network. This two-part paper describes the application of digital communication in power system protection. Part 1 describes the digital communications architect...

This paper reports on the development of integrated protection for power system. The background of the development is firstly introduced, in which a centralized protection system (or relay) provides the protection of multiple power plant or a substation. A novel integrated protection scheme for distribution system based on overcurrent protection technique is described. In the proposed scheme, s...

Protection history and practice has long had two relays applied for protection of one line or piece of primary equipment. The traditional approach for these relays may be to use two relays with different or identical schemes or manufacturers. There are issues of human usage and common mode failure that are considered when making a choice of how to best select these two relays. In the case of el...
