8 Building Complex Power Systems Power system is very complex and is built to satisfy increasing demand of electrical power supply The trend in electric power production is toward an interconnected network of transmission lines linking generators and load into large integrated system
9 Power System Operation Operation of an electrical power systems involves continues electromechanical and electromagnetic distribution of energy. During normal operation the system behavior is presented by voltage and current pasors in frequency domain. During system disturbances the circuit components have higher stress, resulting in excessive currents or voltage variations that cause power system transients.

11 Simulations Outputs Steady State Short Circuit Fault Level Equipment Selection (isolation level) Reference for Protection Settings Dynamic State Simulation Speed of the fault clearing time Transients Simulation Tripping Priority regarding to: Overvoltage's conditions and Power Quality (harmonics)
12 Power System Disturbances and Faults Inadequate supply equipment Result of inadequate planning or unexpected rapid load demand Exceeding supply capability results in load losses Many blackouts caused by operating systems too close to stability limits
13 Protection Duties Protection system or relay must detect the fault and signal circuit breaker to isolate the fault reliably and as fast as possible.

17 Adding large generating units With adding large generating units of high capacity to the power grid endangers the normal operation of power system and might lead to outages and system collapse. The convention power system protection schemes, designed to detect the fault and signal circuit breaker to isolate the fault reliably and as fast as possible, but cannot prevent from the system collapse.
18 Telecommunications infrastructure Nowadays, the modernized networks and telecommunications infrastructure together with Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED), and allow optimizing the existing electrical power system operation.
19 Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED) IEDs which are used now widely for Power System Protection allow us an implementation of almost all the functionalities needed to protect and control the power system components more efficiently: Fundamental protections (Over Current, Over Voltage, Over Frequency, Distance, Differential Protections) Breaker Failure protection (BFPN) Autoreclose (AR) Automatic switching of protection settings Overload protection Wide area special protection schemes (SPS) or remedial action scheme (RAS) Synchronized Phasor Measurement
20 Wide area special protection schemes Wide area special protection schemes (SPS) or remedial action scheme (RAS) are designed to detect the system conditions that can cause instability overload voltage collapse Prevent propagation of disturbances for severe system emergencies caused by un planned operating conditions Last line of defense to improve system security and prevent disturbance propagation Could help better utilize system margins Stabilize System for Equipment Outages, N 2 or beyond Initiate pre planned separation of the power system Prevent overloading of the lines Arrest voltage decline
21 Synchronized Phasor Measurement Two key elements of synchronized phasor measurement are data that are provided how that data are referenced Synchronized phasor measurement system requires a high-precision timing reference (Global Positioning Satellite Clock system) to synchronize all devises across a system-now available from monitors called phasor measurement units (PMUs) Voltage waveforms from remote measurement units are compared on realtime basis. This capability is used to: evaluate system conditions compered them to the system model facilitates analysis in system-wide disturbances system operation control generation dispatch
22 Permissive Overreaching Transfer Trip Z2a Z1a Z1b Z2b Sending Permissive Trip = fault is in front of me Received Permissive Trip + local Zone 2 = local trip
23 Why communication assisted line protection? Speed, speed, speed Selectivity problem (ie: is the fault between the two ends of the line?) Adding communications allows cooperation between both line terminals, which improves speed by improving selectivity
24 Power Distribution System Distribution system is designed to serve radial load. (Power flows from higher voltage levels down to customers)
25 Distribution Protection Relay characteristics are plotted on a time current characteristic (TCC) diagram. Non directional protection is needed because of radial system configuration

27 Concerns related to the distribution system operation and planning With DG increases, Distribution Systems are becoming more like transmission system: double or multiple feed circuits having significant changes in operation will have to accommodate bi directional power flows safety of public and equipment as the network was not designed to accommodate larger numbers of DG protection system becomes more complex due to changes in system behavior and power flow under shortcircuit conditions
