Abstract Distance relay design is equipped with out-of-step tripping scheme to ensure correct distance relay operation during power swing. The out-of-step condition is a consequence result from unstable power swing. It requires proper detection of power swing to initiate a tripping signal followed by separation of unstable part from the entire power system. The distinguishing process of unstable swing from stable swing poses a challenging task. This paper presents an intelligent approach to detect power swing based on S-Transform signal processing tool. The proposed scheme is based on the use of S-Transform feature of active power at the distance relay measurement point. It is demonstrated that the proposed scheme is able to detect and discriminate the unstable swing from stable swing occurring in the system. To ascertain validity of the proposed scheme, simulations were carried out with the IEEE 39 bus system and its performance has been compared with the wavelet transform–based power swing detection scheme.

<span>Distance relay is prone to mal-operate during power swing, thus most of modern distance relay design is equipped with power swing blocking scheme to block the operation during power swing and reset the blocking operation whenever a fault occurs during power swing. However, the detection of fault during power swing especially for high resistance fault possess a challenging task, therefore it may cause the unblocking function to vulnerable to operate. This paper presents the development of a detection scheme for detecting fault during power swing in test system interconnected with Distributed Generation (DG). In this study, the detection scheme is proposed based on S-Transform analysis on the distance relay input voltage signal. It is demonstrated that the proposed S-Transform detection based scheme can effectively detect various type of fault during power swing includes high resistance fault, as well as able to operate correctly even with the presence of DG in the test system.</span>
