Abstract This paper investigates the effect of different bypassing schemes and grounding methods on the secondary arc current and the transient recovery voltage (TRV) of series compensated transmission lines. It is known that in series compensated lines, the peak value of the TRV may exceed the insulation strength. Furthermore, a secondary arc current is generated during a single line to ground fault mainly affected by the capacitive coupling between the healthy lines and the faulted line and can persist for seconds. The steadiness of secondary arc current prevents line reclosers from having a prompt closing to fulfill the system stability. This paper discusses different scenarios that can be employed to limit the secondary arc current consistency and to suppress a severe TRV during a single line to ground fault. A frequency domain analysis is conducted to better understand the nature of the secondary arc current. It is noted that an accurate arc model based upon the Kiziclay’s arc model is used in the simulations.

The application of traditional distance relay for four-parallel transmission lines is adversely affected by the mutual coupling between the lines. The result will lead to not achieved measured impedance calculation. And it has an effect on the operation of ground protection. In this paper, A new ground distance algorithm is proposed for single-phase grounding fault of four-parallel transmission lines. Based on the case of single-phase grounding fault, The first the relationship between fault point voltage and the voltage at protection installed location is presented by twelve-sequence component method. In the basis, According to the relationship of phase corner between the fault voltage and the fault current to eliminate the effect of fault voltage. The simulation results show that the new scheme has high sensitivity and reliability under different single-phase grounding fault of four-parallel transmission lines.

Transmission lines are an important part of a power system. Transmission lines have high power transmission capacity and they are prone to faults of larger magnitudes. Various faults occur in transmission lines. Therefore, protection relays are necessary to protect transmission lines. The purpose of protection system is to interrupt the faulty section from the healthy section because the fault currents may damage the electrical equipments. One of the protection relays is distance relay and it is mainly used in transmission line. Sometimes these relay are used for backup protection. Distance relays for determining the impedance need the voltage and current. Transmission lines are typically protected by distance protection relay. Distance relays are considered of high speed class and can provide transmission lines. Nowadays, numerical distance relays have been used instead of using electromechanical and static distance relays. The proposed model was verified under different tests such as single line to ground (L-G) fault, double line to ground (L-L-G) fault, line to line (L-L) fault and three phase (L-L-L) fault. SimPower System was used for modelling and simulation of distance relay, transmission lines and faults. The simulation results were obtained from MATLAB software shows the feasibility of analysis of transmission line protection with mho type distance relay for single line to ground fault, double line to ground fault, line to line fault and three phase fault at different location of transmission lines. The difficulties understanding on operation of distance relay can be cleared by using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.
