Abstract

This paper mainly focusses on the investigation of the new protection attributes of compensated transmission lines. Use of FACTS devices like TCSC, SVC, STATCOM, UPFC, in transmission lines dynamically controls the system parameters and hence the associated protective relay has to function adaptively without encountering errors. In this paper, the protection issues relating to the distance relaying for compensated transmission lines are addressed. Analytical calculations of apparent impedance during both ground faults and phase faults are being done by solving the sequence impedance networks which includes midpoint TCSC for series compensation and midpoint STATCOM for shunt compensation. Based on the observations made in analytical studies and synchronized measurements approach, a new adaptive distance protection algorithm is developed. A modified WSCC 9-bus test system with FACTS devices is modelled and a conventional mho relay based distance protection scheme is developed to obtain the mho characteristics in different modes of operation during ground faults as well during phase faults using PSCAD/EMTDC v.4.6., for zone-1 protection.
