A differential relay that is very sensitive relay operating even at its limits may be used for protecting a power transformer. However, this characteristic may lead to unnecessary tripping due to transient currents. In order to avoid this unnecessary tripping, estimated harmonics of these currents may be required which need great computation efforts. In this paper, a new frame work is proposed using PC interfaced with a data acquisition card AD622, which acquires real-time signals of the currents, process them numerically in the computer and outputs tripping signal to the circuit breaker. All algorithms of differential protection function and blocking techniques have been implemented using the Simulink/Matlab. To validate the present work, the performance of developed relay is tested by signals generated by Simulink/MATLAB simulator under different conditions. The test results show that this proposed scheme provides good discrimination between the transient currents and the internal fault currents.


This paper presents a new innovative algorithm for Numerical Differential Relay design of transformer. Fault information is critical for operating and maintaining power networks. This algorithm provides accurate performance for transformer by which is independent of system conditions such as: External fault, Inrush current, CT saturation. Locating transformer faults quickly and accurately is very important for economy, safety and reliability point of view. Both fault-detection and protection indices are derived by using Numerical Differential Relay algorithm design of transformer. The embedded based differential and operating current measurement device is called numerical differential relay is among the most important development in the field of instantaneous fault operation. Numerical relay provides measurement of differential current and operating current at power transformer above 5MVA in substation. Simulation studies are carried out using MATLAB Software show that the proposed scheme provides a high accuracy and fast relay response in internal fault conditions. Current transformers form an important part of protective systems. Ideal Current Transformers (CTs) are expected to reflect the primary current faithfully on the secondary side. Under conditions the CT saturates, and hence it cannot reproduce the primary current faithfully. This paper deals with simulation methods for determining CT performance under different factor. A Simulink model has been developed to observe CT response under steady state w.r.t Burden, Turns ratio, Asymmetrical current, Hysteresis conditions. Thus, it is now possible to evaluate the CT performance under these factors

Power transformer is one of the most important equipments in the electric system. Dissolved Gases Analysis is an important method in the diagnosis of internal fault of transformers. Because the signs and types of fault have complicated nonlinear relations, the traditional methods cannot exactly meet the requirements of engineer application. This paper proposes synthesis of relational grey incidence to analyze the comparability and the proximity of the sequence which can effectively diagnose the type of transformer faults.
