Abstract
This paper gives an explanation of coordination of directional over-current relays (DOCR) for an existing power network, i.e., an 132 kV ring-main distribution system through a test model using MATLAB/Simulink. This simulation model is developed such that the relays in the system operate according to the principle of DOCRs. Time dial settings (TDS) and plug settings (PS) of all the relays are calculated manually such that sympathy trips do not occur. The procedure of testing the model for various possible fault locations has been presented along with the figures showing the responses of the DOCRs placed in the system. These DOCRs are modeled such that they would trip for a certain range of current based on their TDS and PS values. This study can be helpful for the undergraduate students to understand the concept of coordination of DOCRs and also gives them an insight to how theoretical knowledge be applied for solving real-time problems.
