摘要

Conventional distance protection applies the positive-sequence impedance to protect a line against short-circuit faults. Series-compensated lines may considerably change the positive-sequence impedance of the fault path and cause the distance relays to maloperate. To overcome this problem, the mutual impedance between phases of a transmission line is used for the design of a new distance protection scheme. The voltages and currents of both ends of the line are applied to compute the mutual impedance between the relay and the fault point. The proposed scheme has a reliable performance in protection against single-phase and double-phase-to-ground faults and, therefore, it can be used as a backup protection. Simulation results approve the efficiency of the proposed method in protection of series-compensated transmission lines.
