Abstract:

Transmission lines Overhead lines and cables are one of the most important elements of the electric power system because they enable the transmission of electricity from producers to consumers. Several protection methods are used for secure more reliable and safe energy transmission. High voltage lines include both possible directions of the power flow Protection of these lines are more complicated especially because of this fact. Distribution networks had not had those possibilities for a long time. Hence, the protection was simple and easy. When independent energy sources took the place in distribution network, more complicated protections had to be installed. Protection hronology, from the simplest overcurrent towards to more complicated as a distance protection will be presented with all disadvantages. The basic part of the lecture is about the fastest and very reliable protection – differential protection. This protection must take part even in the distribution network because of the load flow direction changing. Several recent and most interesting ideas about realisation of this kind of protection will be presented briefly. Emphasise is on those ideas which have taken the place in practice. Two great manufacturers of the relays include these ideas in their own algorithms. During the time of use, even these two algorithms showed disadvantages. This lecture will show the results of the recent research about this topic on School of Electrical Engineering in Belgrade. The new idea of current differential protection will be presented and compared with two mentioned algorithms. The new algorithm simplicity leads to fast and correct fault detection in all circumstances that could be reason for maloperation of the others.
