Introduction
Transmission Line Protection Considerations

1) Reliability: has two aspects:
Dependability: the degree of certainty that the relay will operate
correctly.
Security: the relay will not operate incorrectly
2) Speed: Very high power during fault conditions: delays translate into
increased damage: faster protection tends to compromise relay system
security and selectivity.
3) Sensitivity: The minimum operating quantities allows the relay to detect
an abnormal condition. High-impedance ground faults,voltage unbalance
and high source- to- line impedance ratio affect the sensitivity
4) Selectivity: or coordination: ability of the relay system to minimize
outages as a result of a fault by operating as fast as possible within their
primary zone.
5) Simplicity and ergonomics: simple to apply and to obtain maximum
protection for the minimum cost in one box
Terms: Coordination, Unit Protection/None Unit Protection, Primary/Back up
Introduction
Transmission Line Protection Considerations

High voltage transmission lines have extremely high level of fault current and
low impedance characteristics. Over current protection can not be as fast as its
needed.
Solutions:
Current Differential:
Unit Protection
Measure the current phasors at both ends of the line. If you have a line fault
there will be a difference in the current magnitude at each end and/or a change
in current phase angle with respect to applied voltage.
Distance or (Impedance):
None Unit Protection
Impedance known as Distance: The distance relay operates by using both
voltage and current to determine if a fault is in a relays zone of protection. At
time of fault Current increases and voltage decreases which translates into a
change in impedance.

For the Internal Timing Mode, the system clock is generated

internally; therefore, the timing switch selection should be Internal
Timing for Relay 1 and Loop Timed for Relay 2. There must be only
one timing source configured.
For the Looped Timing Mode, the system clock is derived from the
received line signal; therefore, the timing selection should be in
Loop Timing Mode for connections to higher order systems.

Restraint Current
Traditional method is STATIC

Compromise between Sensitivity and Security

Dynamic Restraint
Dynamic restraint uses an estimate of a

measurement error to dynamically increase the
restraint
On-line estimation of an error is possible owing to
digital measuring techniques
In digital relaying to measure means to calculate or
to estimate a given signal feature such as magnitude
from the raw samples of the signal waveform
21
Digital Phasor Measurement
The L90 measures the current phasors (magnitude

and phase angle) as follows:
1. digital pre-filtering is applied to remove the

decaying dc component and a great deal of high
frequency distortions
2. the line charging current is estimated and used
to compensate the differential signal
3. full-cycle Fourier algorithm is used to estimate
the magnitude and phase angle of the
fundamental frequency (50 or 60Hz) signal

Phasor Goodness of Fit
A sum of squared differences between the actual

waveform and an ideal sinusoid over last window is a
measure of a goodness of fit (a measurement error)
window

23
Phasor Goodness of Fit
The goodness of fit is an accuracy index for the digital

measurement
The goodness of fit reflects inaccuracy due to:
transients
CT saturation
inrush currents and other signal distortions
electrical noise
The goodness of fit is used by the L90 to alter the
traditional restraint signal (dynamic restraint)

Charge Current Compensation
The L90 calculates the instantaneous values of the

line charging current using the instantaneous values
of the terminal voltage and shunt parameters of the
line
The calculated charging current is subtracted from
the actually measured terminal current
The compensation reduces the spurious differential
current and allows for more sensitive settings
25
Charge Current Compensation
The compensating algorithm:

is accurate over wide range of frequencies
works with shunt reactors installed on the line
works in steady state and during transients
works with both wye- and delta-connected VTs
(for delta VTs the accuracy of compensation is
limited)

transformer(s) even if the latter has its windings connected in a grounded
wye on the line side and the transformer(s) currents are not measured by
the L90 protection system..

CT Saturation Detection
Current differential protection is inherently dependent on adequate CT
performance at all terminals of the protected line especially during
external faults. CT saturation, particularly if happens at one terminal of
the line only, introduces a spurious differential current that may cause the
differential protection to misoperate.
31
Breaker-and-a-half
The L90 has
advantages on
systems with breaker-
and-a-half or ring bus
configurations. In these
applications, each of
the two three-phase
sets of individual
phase currents (one
associated with each
breaker) can be used
as an input to a
breaker failure
element.

Breaker-and-a-half
Benefits:
For restraint forming, maximum of 2 (or more currents is
used). Conventional sum might not provide enough
restraint.
CTs matching is done

internally, different CT
ratios possible
Current are available
individually for BF,
metering etc
32
Breaker-and-a-half
Distributed bus
differential
Up to 4 CTs can be
processed
individually and
summed up with
L90. For application
where buses are
located remotely,
this is beneficial as
CT leads dont allow
applying bus
differential.

Channel asymmetry
ADM-2 ADM-3
RELAY 1 RELAY 2
Rx Tx
ADM-1 ADM-4
Tx Rx
On SONET/SDH system, transmit and receive channel

delays can be different. Normally, Tx_delay=Rx_delay.
If one path is broken, it can be re-routed to another
physical fiber, resulting in Tx_delayRx_delay.
33
Channel asymmetry
Difference in transmit-receive paths is causing
incorrect synchronization between relays as ping-
pong is operating based on assumption that transmit-
receive delays are the equal.
That results in apparent differential current,
proportional to the value of the channel asymmetry.
If currents and channel asymmetry are high enough,
relay misoperates.

Channel asymmetry
L90 can cope with channel asymmetry as high as up
to 10 ms using GPS signal.
No additional input is required-GPS clock is
connected to the regular IRIG-B UR input, providing

Important consideration is fallback mode if GPS signal is
lost: for example, relay can be programmed to continue
to provide sensitive differential function using memorized
value of last measured channel asymmetry until step
change in the communications path is detected.

Frequency Tracking
1. It is important for current differential to track the
frequency to fit exactly 64 samples within one power
cycle and to provide synchronized sampling at each
L90 relay.
2. L90 starts tracking the frequency if current at any
terminal is above 0.125 pu
3. L90 tracks the frequency from positive- sequence
current from all terminals.
4. If positive-sequence current is below 0.125 pu, all
relays track to nominal frequency, 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
5. Tracking frequency is displayed in Actual
Values\Metering menu.
