Abstract: 

Distance relays are among the most significant components of electrical protection systems since their function is based on detecting the apparent impedance between the relay and the fault location in order to locate and isolate it rapidly. However, distance relays may encounter considerable hurdles as a result of power swings, which are caused by sudden and severe disturbances in large grids, such as faults or unexpected heavy load changes. A complex network of generators, transmission lines, transformers, and loads make up the power systems that serve as the basis for distance relays. However, the operational stability of these systems is heavily reliant on constantly balancing generation and loads. This paper investigates the impact of power swings on impedance distance relay performance. It gives a solution to keep the system in a stable region by monitoring the impedance trajectory and determining the change in time of crossing the suggested stability limit curve and the relay-characterized area. The research strategy proposes the use of three times out of four, which are the times of intersection of the measured instantaneous impedance path (trajectory) with the proposed stability curve and with the characteristics of the impedance distance relay, where the time difference (T3-T2) indicates the sensitivity to faults and the difference (T4-T2) gives a clear indication of stability. The results give a good indication to avoid unstable circumstances, with a time difference of 70–90 ms between T4 and T2 in critical power swing cases, depending on fault location and resistance.

1. Introduction

Stability is essential to ensure system reliability. Balanced power flow between load and generation is maintained in a steady state. Conversely, transient stability is the capacity of synchronous generators to remain in synchronism with the system during major faults or disruptions such as generator disconnection, line switching, or excessive loads. These occurrences may lead to power fluctuations [1, 2]. Therefore, upsetting the balance between load and generation is needed. At the same time, protection relays such as distance and overcurrent should clear the fault quickly to keep the swings stabilized [3, 4].

On the other hand, if swing oscillations do not stop, the system becomes unstable and causes an out-of-sequence state [5, 6]. Faults are distinguished from power swings based on the rate of change of electrical characteristics, despite the fact that conventional methods, such as concentric circles and blinders, cannot distinguish between faults and rapid changes based on local information [7].

One of the famous and most common uses of FACTS devices is the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM), which has presented further difficulties in relay response accuracy. In order to increase relay response, studies have suggested using fuzzy logic [8]. Relay settings have been changed to address these impacts since devices like UPFC (Unified Power Flow Controller) also affect impedance, producing performance problems [9]. Devices like SVC (Static Var Compensator) based on fuzzy logic have been shown to outperform other approaches in boosting transient stability [10]. An innovative method based on the Improved Deep Neural Network (IDNN) has been proposed to prevent the maloperation of the zone 3 distance relay during power swings. By processing voltage and current signals using the Improved Discrete Wavelet Transform (IMDWT), the system detects power swings and ensures the correct operation of the relay [11]. Hybrid renewable energy systems, such as solar and wind, help increase voltage stability and minimize losses [12]. As a literature review, through time, many attempts to introduce the effect of adding new systems, such as Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS) and renewable energy, in addition to the use an intelligent technologies such as Neural Networks (NNs), Fuzzy Inference System (FIS), or maybe adaptive between them ANFIS [13].

 To reduce the impact of UPFC on the measured relay impedance while ensuring quicker and more accurate fault rate detection, a novel relay design using fuzzy logic has been proposed [14]. From another perspective, another study presented the challenge of differentiating between electrical network modes in relay protection systems using deep learning. It highlights how machine learning algorithms, with rewritable memory, offer a more flexible and efficient solution compared to traditional methods that use fixed operation characteristics [15].

While using multi-mass steam turbines during significant changes increases power stability by avoiding loss of synchronism [16], hybrid renewable systems help to lower oscillations during crises [17]. Though its primary disadvantage is detection latency during three-phase faults, power swing blocking (PSB) based on swing center voltage has been established to differentiate between faults and power swings [18, 19]. Although high-frequency sampling is necessary for successful implementation, signal processing techniques like FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) and wavelet-based algorithms are used for power swing detection [20, 21]. Investigated for systems linked to distributed generation is discrimination between strong fault resistance and power swing [22]. Though the need for extensive case studies still presents a difficulty, artificial intelligence methods such as SVM (Support Vector Machine) and ANFIS have been used to enhance fault identification and diagnosis [23-25]. Grid stability and reliability are getting increasingly difficult as smart grids are used. Modern power systems offer real-time data flow by means of synchronized phasor technology (GPS-based PMUs), hence improving decision-making and visualization algorithms. For fault detection and relay blocking/de-blocking, differentiating power coefficients and angular separation methods have been proposed [26]. PMUs are used in a variety of protective applications, including backup systems and fault detection [27, 28]. A PMU-based power swing detector to prevent distance relay maloperation was presented in the study [29]. Phase plane fault detection methods have been applied in large grids [30, 31]. By means of the combination of neural intelligence and fuzzy logic, ANN (Artificial Neural Networks) has been shown to be quicker and more accurate in fault categorization [32].

All the previous works don’t focus on the direct effect of power swings on the impedance trajectory and then distance relay response and also don’t focus on how to avoid instability after fault clearing. The current work used impedance trajectory behavior during faults to forecast large swings that can cause the loss of synchronism and focuses on investigating how power swings affect the impedance distance relay response, especially during three-phase faults and unstable swings cases and gives a suggestion on how to use it, i.e., impedance trajectory to prevent instability occurs.

2. System Description

The effect of a power swing on the stability of the system was investigated by using the MATLAB-Simulink model. When sudden and severe changes occur in the system, including faults or abnormal conditions in demand, the power flow between generators and loads may oscillate, a phenomenon known as power swing. This phenomenon directly impacts generator rotor angles, voltages, and frequency stability, as well as control systems such as power system stabilizers (PSS) and automated voltage regulators (AVR) reduce these effects. The test system consists of two synchronous machines connected by three buses, including two power transformers rated at 13.8 kV and 500 kV, respectively.

The system includes a 500 kV, 700 km transmission line. The test system also included two PSSs and two AVRs. The two PPSs can work in multimode operations such as no PSS, Multiband, and Generic. A Generic mode gives good response results in rotor angle stability as compared with other modes, so it is adopted in this work. A 5000 MW pure resistive load is supplied to the system. The pure resistive load was adopted in the simulation because it has the greatest impact on the system, as real power is drawn from the generation units. Also, a capacitor bank can compensate for the reactive power, and all power systems try to reduce supplying it from generation units and passing through the transmission lines. Additionally, the effect of the fault is significantly larger compared to the load values. A measurement block was used to measure the proposed impedance relay voltage and current at Bus 4. The resistance (R) and reactance (X) were then calculated from voltage and current values to determine the impedance.

Figure 1 shows the MATLAB-Simulink model of the test system. The system is made up of a local generating plant (M2) rated at 5000 MVA and a distant generating plant (M1) rated at 1000 MVA, which together provide a 5000 MW completely resistive load that serves as the load center. M1 and M2 have respective output rates of 950 MW and 4046 MW, respectively. The system operates near its Surge Impedance Loading (SIL) of 977 MW with a regulated power flow of 944 MW across the transmission line. In order to maintain stability and peak performance, this provides real power transfer with less reactive power adjustment.

3. Method

This work proposed a stability constraint line or curve that gives an indicator for a fault occurring. The proposed method starts with fixing the relay characteristics and stability constraint. Then, the X/R ratio, which reveals the relationship between resistance and reactance in the system, is calculated by measuring the voltage and current in the system. In the event of a fault or major disturbance, the X/R value will exceed the stability limits, and the time of the first intersection between X/R and the stability limit will be recorded, denoted as T1. Thereafter, the X/R value will continue to change until it enters the relay characteristic limits. At that point, the time of the first intersection with the relay characteristics is recorded, known as the fault detection time, and denoted as T2. The X/R value continues to change automatically until it exits the relay characteristic limits, at which point the second intersection with the relay characteristics will be recorded, denoted as T3. The difference between T3 and T2 can be used to determine the relay's sensitivity in detecting the fault. During this period, the trip signal for the relay should be issued; if this difference increases, the relay's sensitivity will be increased. The X/R value continues to change automatically until it intersects the stability limit a gain for the second time, at which point the second intersection time will be recorded, denoted as T4. The time difference between T4 and T2, i.e. (T4-T2), is then calculated.

From the simulation results, it is observed that the smallest difference between T4 and T2 for the occurrence of critical oscillation preceding the oscillation that causes loss of synchronization is 70.3 milliseconds, which occurs in the sixth cycle at the lowest expected fault resistance of 4 ohms and a fault location of 80%. Based on this, a value of 70 milliseconds was selected, ignoring the 0.003 milliseconds as it does not significantly affect the decision. If this difference is greater than or equal to 70 milliseconds, which is the proposed stability threshold, then an organized load-shedding procedure will begin to avoid loss of synchronization. If the difference is less than 70 milliseconds, the recorded time values will be reset, and the process will be repeated until the required condition is met. Figure 2 shows these processes as a flowchart.

4. Simulation Results and Analysis

A three-bus, two-machine test system, Figure 1, is used to get the results for the proposed protection procedure. Faults were created at various locations along the line between Bus 1 and Bus 2, as shown in Figure 3. The relay characteristics were designed for potential fault resistance values, with the lowest expected fault resistance being 4 Ω and the highest expected fault resistance being 12 Ω. The worst-case scenario for faults, which is a three-phase fault, was examined. It was focused on because it has the greatest impact on the stability of the electrical system, potentially leading to loss of synchronization or significant changes in the system's behavior. Additionally, analyzing three-phase faults provides a deeper understanding of how they affect the overall stability of the system compared to other faults with lesser impact. This fault was implemented using a three-phase fault module in the MATLAB Simulink package. The fault was applied to different system scenarios: The first scenario is a fault resistance of 4 Ω at different locations. It starts from 20% of the line length to 80%, and several periods of fault from 3 cycles to 7 cycles were tested. The second and third scenario involves a fault resistance of 8 Ω and 12 Ω at the same conditions as the first scenario (i.e., fault location and cycle duration). The results for varying fault resistances, line lengths, and fault time durations. In order to elucidate the analysis, the system's behavior and performance in terms of monitoring the impedance path through the distance stage characteristics are demonstrated through the use of numerous graphs. The fault occurring time is 0.5 sec. As a physical explanation, the longer duration of the electrical fault, represented by the number of cycles, the lower impedance value measured by the instruments during the fault equals the fault resistance plus line impedance, represented by the distortion in the impedance path at the far left. When the fault ends, the impedance starts to gradually return to its original value before the fault, causing the impedance path (trajectory) to move towards the stability detection curve but in the opposite direction of the previous one. This change directly affects the time value (T4); as this value increases with the longer duration of the fault due to the impedance path remaining in the fault region, the difference between the values (T4 - T2) will increase significantly.

Figure 3. Faults at various locations

Figure 4 illustrates the time-domain designed impedance relay characteristics of a 700 km transmission line, red colour, which extends from 20% to 80% of the total length of the line and has a quadrilateral shape. The slanted black line represents the proposed stability limit (boundary), which is a key indicator of whether the system is heading toward stable or unstable swing oscillation immediately after the fault occurs. The impedance trajectory response (violet colour) during a fault is the reference signal for the proposed method to detect the fault and whether the system will go to a stable or unstable region. The purple star indicates the first time (T1) crossing the proposed stability line, which is not significant in this analysis. The purple point represents the entry time (T2) of the distance relay characteristics, while the green point represents the exit time (T3) of the distance relay characteristics. The difference between T3 and T2 represents the sensitivity of the distance relay to faults. The green star represents the second intersection time with the proposed stability limit line, and the difference between T4 and T2 will be used to determine the swing oscillation state of the system, whether it is heading towards stable or unstable swing oscillation.

Figure 4. Distance relay characteristic and impedance trajectory with stability limitation

This work investigated in several scenarios the impact of fault resistance (RF) and location on the system responses. Measuring the moment of route entrance (trajectory) inside the relay characteristics reveals that the fault location and resistance affect the fault entry time that is acquired. The proposed scenarios can be summarized in the following points:

  1. For RF=4 Ω at the 20% fault site, the fault entry time was 11.7 milliseconds (0.702 cycles), and the dwell duration inside the characteristics was 5.2 milliseconds (0.312 cycles); therefore, the relay will rapidly react to the system. At the 40% fault location, the fault entrance time was 12.2 milliseconds (0.732 cycles), while the dwell time was 3.7 milliseconds (0.222 cycles). At 60%, the fault entry time was 13.1 milliseconds (0.786 cycles), and the dwell time was 4.2 milliseconds (0.252 cycles). At 80%, the fault entry time was significantly higher at 35.1 milliseconds (2.106 cycles), while the dwell time within the characteristics was very small (0.1 milliseconds), leading to maloperation and the absence of the appropriate response.
  2. For RF=8 Ω at 20% fault location, the fault entry time increased to 13 milliseconds (0.78 cycles), with a dwell time of 3.7 milliseconds (0.222 cycles). At 40%, the fault entry time was 13.9 milliseconds (0.834 cycles), and the dwell time increased to 5.8 milliseconds (0.348 cycles). At 60%, the fault entry time was 13.7 milliseconds (0.822 cycles), and the dwell time extended to 7.5 milliseconds (0.45 cycles). At 80%, the fault entry time further increased to 16.8 milliseconds (1.008 cycles), with a dwell time of 4.1 milliseconds (0.246 cycles).
  3. For RF=12 Ω at 20% fault location, the fault entry time was 14.8 milliseconds (0.888 cycles), and the dwell time was 0.9 milliseconds (0.054 cycles). At 40%, the fault entry time was 14.9 milliseconds (0.894 cycles), with a significantly increased dwell time of 13.9 milliseconds (0.834 cycles). At 60%, the fault entry time was 15.4 milliseconds (0.924 cycles), while the dwell time ranged between 38.5 milliseconds (2.31 cycles) and 105.4 milliseconds (6.324 cycles). The variation in exit time was due to the fact that the first exit occurred after the distortion had ended, whereas in previous cases, the first exit occurred during the distortion, allowing the system to respond correctly. At 80%, the fault entry time was 17 milliseconds (1.02 cycles), and the dwell time within the characteristics was 4 milliseconds (0.24 cycles).

Table 1 summarizes the fault analysis results across different locations, showing the impact of fault resistance, location, and duration on system response. The last cycle for each case in this table refers to the cycle where the loss of synchronism occurs.

In all scenarios cases, a quick system response was observed upon fault occurrence. "The appropriate times for transitioning between the different stages within the relay characteristics were determined based on measuring the moments of entry and exit from these characteristics, as well as measuring the dwell times within them. This analysis allows for evaluating the effectiveness of the system's response to the fault, where it is determined whether the times spent by the system within the relay characteristics are sufficient to detect the fault and interact with it correctly. The time associated with the stability detection factor was observed to have different values for each cycle, with this value increasing as the time of failure approached. Therefore, based on the readings, the type of ability power swing, whether stable or unstable, could be predicted. In specific cases, such as at 80% location with 4 Ω resistance, the correct response was not obtained due to the short dwell time.

Figure 16. Distance relay characteristic and impedance trajectory for 12 Ω fault resistive at 80% from line fault, including the new stability-boundary detecting curve

In the case of the 80% site with a fault resistance of 12 Ω, it was found that the intersection with the distortion in the stability detection line resulted in erroneous readings, therefore failing any appropriate reaction for stability detection. In order to avoid any erroneous readings, the stability detection limits in this area were modified, and the ideal scenario was embraced. Figure 16 shows the modified stability-limit line to a new stability-boundary detecting curve, therefore guaranteeing correct readings. No appreciable variations were found; the revised measurements were found to match the predicted results prior to the change. Table 2 describes these readings.

5. Conclusions

This paper presents a new fast protection strategy used to clear faults and dampen the swing oscillations to maintain system stability after a fault occurs based on the follow-the-path of the impedance trajectory response that is associated with the proposed stability curve limits and relay impedance characteristics. The proposed method is based on recording the time of the first touch with relay characteristics during fault occurrence, T2, which is considered an indicator for fault detection. Through the characteristics of the stability boundary curve, the time of the second intersection with the impedance trajectory T4 is recorded, and then the time difference between T4 and T2 is found, which is considered an indicator of system stability. These indicators are fully capable of distinguishing between fault conditions and system stability. Synchronization losses occur between the sixth and seventh cycles, and these losses vary depending on the fault resistance and its location. Loss occurs in the sixth cycle with a fault resistance of 4 ohms between 20% and 60% of the line length and with a resistance of 8 ohms near 60%. And the other cases occur in the seventh cycle. A malfunction occurs at a fault resistance of 4 ohms at 80% of the line length due to the longer time taken to detect the fault, which is 35.1 milliseconds. This requires improving the relay characteristics in this area. Classifying power fluctuations is challenging because the values of R and X are similar throughout the fault period, making it difficult to distinguish between stable and unstable fluctuations. Adjustments to the stability detection limits in certain areas, such as at 80% with a resistance of 12 ohms, improved the accuracy of detecting stability limits. The results after the adjustment were very close to the readings that were expected before the adjustment. The simulation results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed strategy method in detecting faults, and if the swing oscillation takes the system to stable or unstable after fault clearing.
