     Abstract

    Due to the increasing complexity of our electrical power systems, the need for highly selective protection is

    increasingly being fulfilled by the use of distance teleprotection. To test a teleprotection functionthoroughly, a distributed end to end test with synchronized injection can be utilized.

    This application note describes how this could be done in an easy and comfortable way using thecorresponding OMICRON RelaySimTest test template. RelaySimTest  offers simulation based system testingmethods. To perform a test a fault scenario is calculated based on the simulation of the power systemnetwork. The resulting voltages and currents for the different relay locations can be used to test the correctbehavior of the distance teleprotection system. For this reason RelaySimTest  offers the possibility to controlseveral distributed and time synchronized CMC test sets.

    2 Introduction

    2.1 What this application note describes

    The application note describes the End to end relay tests of the RelaySimTest predefined DistanceTeleprotection template. Therefore it covers the following content of the test template.

    1. Distance teleprotection (general information)

    2. System under test

    3. Test cases

    4. Test sets configuration

    The application note doesn’t describe a distance protection test itself. It doesn’t describe reach tests for thedistance zones, single end tests, wiring checks and parameter tests. To test the protection thoroughly suchtests are also recommended.

    2.2 Distance teleprotection

    The zone grading of distance protection has the problem that zone 1 (Z1) does not protect the entire lengthof the line. This means that instantaneous tripping is only possible for around 80% to 90% of the line (seeFigure 1).

    Figure 1: Fault in zone 2

  • 8/9/2019 Distance Teleprotection omicrn

    6/24

    If a fault occurs, communication between both sides of the protected line allows instantaneous tripping forthe entire line. This scheme is generally referred to as "teleprotection".

    Figure 2: Functional principle of teleprotection: Fault between the teleprotection system (left side); Fault behind substation B (right side)

    Figure 2 describes the principle of teleprotection:

    >  Left side: The fault is in zone 2 (Z2) for relay A and in Z1 for relay B. Relay B usestelecommunication to show relay A that the fault is between them. This allows relay A to tripinstantaneously, it doesn’t has to delay the tripping with the time of Z2.

    >  Right side: The fault is behind substation B. For relay A the fault is in Z2, for relay B it is inbackwards direction. Therefore relay B doesn’t send a signal to relay A, that would allow relay Ato trip instantaneously. Relay A trips with the delay time of Z2

    There are different teleprotection schemes. Figure 2 describes a permissive underreach transfer trippingscheme (PUTT). Here a signal is only sent to the other end if a fault is detected in zone 1. It’s enough if onlyone relay detects a fault in its zone 1 to ensure that the fault is between side A and B. In this case the relayson both sides have to trip instantaneously. Zone 1 doesn’t cover the whole length of the line, this is why sucha scheme is classed as “underreaching”.

    Figure 3: Principle of PUTT

    In contrast a permissive overreach transfer tripping scheme (POTT) uses typically an extended zone (Z1B).This zone extends Z1 to cover a length that is longer than the line length (overreaching). Relay A and Bsend a release signal to the other end if a fault is within the respective extended zone. That means if bothrelays send a signal the fault is between them (see Figure 4). In this case the relays on both sides have totrip instantaneously.

    Figure 4: Principle of POTT

    The example of this application note uses a POTT scheme. For more information about Distance protectionsee [2].

    Figure 5: Example – Line protected by Distance Teleprotection using a POTT scheme (CT: Current Transformer; VT: VoltageTransformer)

    Figure 5 shows that the extended zone (Z1B) reaches from 70% to 130% of the line length. A fault in thearea of 0% to 100% of the line length should lead to an instantaneous trip of relay A and B. It is assumedthat the relays of the example have an impedance tolerance of 5%.

    Figure 6 illustrates the time grading of the distance protection. Both relays have two distance zones for theirforward and one zone for their reverse direction. The first zone has no delay which means the nominal triptime is 0 s. In the second zone the nominal trip time is 400 ms. The reverse zone has a delay time of 1.2 s.

    3.2 Settings of the system under test menu in RelaySimTest

    The parameter of the protected line, the protection concept and the substations with their bays and relaysaccording to the example (see chapter  3.1 ) are in the System Under Test menu.

    The red numbers in Figure 8 correspond to the numbers of  Figure 5 and Figure 6 to show where thedifferent parameters are defined.

    Comments:

    >  Number 1 → Protected line: The settings of this menu item use primary values.

    >  Number 3 → Bay A and B: This menu item contains the sub menu Instrument transformersthat includes the CT direction and the VT location settings.

    >  Number 4 → Relay A and B: This menu item contains the test voltage and current limits. TheRelaySimTest  template that corresponds to the application note was tested with a Siemens7SA63 relay system. The relay manual specifies that a current of 150 A for up to 10 s and a

    continuous voltage of 230V do not cause damage to the relay [4]. The tests with the exampledata lead to currents that are smaller than 15 A and to voltages smaller 200V (Phase to Phase).The fault duration of one test point is about 2 s. Therefore a current limit of 15 A and a voltagelimit of 200V is suitable. Nevertheless it is important to do breaks between the tests to ensurethat the relays are not stressed too much.

    4.2 Suitable test cases

    This chapter describes the test of the corresponding RelaySimTest  template.

    To keep the template simple, it uses only the following Fault types:

    >  L1-N

    >  L2-L3

    >  L1-L2-L3

     All test cases with faults include these fault types. Depending on the relays under test, on the relay’sparameter and on the grid where the protection system is used, it can be necessary to add more fault types.

    The Initial state of a fault is inactive to get transients in the beginning. To get particularly high currents thefault inception angle is set to 0°.

    Figure 11: Example for a fault with Initial state "Inactive"

    The nominal trip time of the protection is between 0 and 1.2 s, therefore the simulation time after a fault orswitching event is at least 2 s. Hence the protection system has enough time to show its reaction on theevent.

    Sometimes the distance protection relays use the voltage of their voltage memory, if the voltage during afault is too small to use it. Therefore it is necessary to fill this memory before the fault occurs. How long thistakes depends on the relay type. A Siemens 7SA63 relay system was used to test the template. Such arelay for example needs about 2 seconds to fill its voltage memory. Hence a prefault duration of 2 s is used.

    Some of the test cases use a certain fault resistance RF to find out if the protection system can handle it. In

    all test cases where the influence of RF is not considered RF is set to 0 .

    The following chapters describe the different test cases of the template in detail. In all test cases the tripcommand of relay A and the trip command of relay B is observed. Chapter  4.3 describes how to measureand to assess the trip times.

    Test case 1 – double infeed, fault on line

    This test case should show that a fault on the protected line leads to an instantaneous trip of theteleprotection system. The fault is placed on different fault locations.

    >  Fault locations: 0%, 50%, 100% of the protected line.

    Figure 12: Test case 1

    → The fault is on the protected line, hence the relays have to detect it in zone 1 (Z1) or in theextended zone Z1B. In both cases they have to send a signal immediately to the other site whichreleases the extended zone of the remote relay. If a relay detects a fault in Z1, it has to tripinstantaneously. If it detects a fault in Z1B it has to trip instantaneously when it receives therelease signal from the other end.

    Test case 2 and 3 – double infeed, line fault at 0 and 100%, RF and load current

    These test cases should show that a fault on the protected line leads to an instantaneous trip of theteleprotection system even under unfavorable conditions.

    >  A fault resistance of 3  is used. It influences the fault loop impedance measured by the relays.(Number [2] of the bibliography shows how to estimate a fault resistance). Figure 13 illustratessuch an effect, if there would be only a single infeed at the relays site and no infeed at theremote line end. Furthermore the influence of a load current is neglected.

    >  For test case 2 the fault location is at the beginning of the line (0%) and for test case 3 at theend of the line (100%). Especially these two locations can cause trouble, because they are atthe borders of the teleprotected area.

    → Even if there are unfavorable conditions the fault is inside the area that is protected by theteleprotection system, therefore the relays have to behave in the same way they have to behavein test case 1.

    Test case 4 and 5 – single infeed, fault on line (weak infeed logic test)

    These test cases should show that faults on the teleprotected line lead to an instantaneous relay trip even ifthe remote relay does not detect the fault.

    The reason why the remote end does not pick up could be a weak infeed. Figure 15 illustrates a weak infeedat site B. The relay on site A detects the fault in Z1B and sends a signal to relay B. On site B the fault currentis insufficient to cause a trigger of relay B. Hence relay B would not send a release signal and relay A wouldtrip with zone 2. Relay B on the other hand would not trip at all.

    If a logic for weak infeed signals is used and relay B receives a signal while it has not detected the fault, thislogic checks whether the voltage is below a specific value. If this is the case, Relay B trips and sends anecho to relay A to release its extended zone.

    With test cases 4 and 5 this logic is tested.

    Figure 15: Weak infeed at site B

    >  The fault is placed at different fault locations: 0%, 50% and 100% of the line

    >  In test case 4 only Infeed 1 is modeled.

    Figure 16: Test case 4

    → There is no infeed at the site of relay B, therefore it will not detected the fault. Nevertheless thefaults on the line have to lead to an instantaneous trip command of relay A and B due to theweak infeed logic.

    >  In test case 5 only infeed 2 is modeled.

    → There is no infeed at the site of relay A, therefore it will not detected the fault. Nevertheless thefaults on the line have to lead to an instantaneous trip command of relay A and B due to theweak infeed logic.

    Test case 6 and 7 – single infeed, fault on busbar

     A fault on the busbar is out of the teleprotected area. These test cases should show that in such a case Z1Bis not released and that the trip times of the relays fit to the time grading of their distance protection.

    >  In test case 6 only infeed 1 is modeled

    >  The fault is placed on busbar B

    Figure 17: Test case 6

    → The fault is out of the teleprotected area. Relay A has to trip with Z2. Relay B has to trip with itsreverse tripping zone (Z3).

    >  In test case 7 only infeed 2 is modeled

    >  The fault is placed on busbar A

    → The fault is out of the teleprotected area. Relay B has to trip with Z2. Relay A has to trip with itsreverse tripping zone (Z3).

    Test case 8 and 9 – double infeed, fault on busbar, RF and load current

    This test cases are similar to test case 6 and 7 but with unfavorable conditions. As shown in chapter  4.2.2 afault resistance as well as a load current and a remote infeed can cause trouble for the distanceteleprotection. These test cases should show that the relays can deal with this influences if a fault occurs onthe busbar.

    >  A fault resistance of 3 Ohm is used.

    >  The phase angle of infeed 2 is varied: -30°, 0°, +30° are used as phase angle of infeed 2, whilethe phase angle of infeed 1 stays at 0°.

    >  For test case 8 the fault is placed at busbar A

    → The fault is out of the teleprotected area. Relay B has to trip with Z2. Relay A has to trip with itsreverse tripping zone (Z3).

    → The fault is out of the teleprotected area. Relay A has to trip with Z2. Relay B has to trip with itsreverse tripping zone (Z3).

    Test case 10: time grading without teleprotection

    For this test case the teleprotection function has to be disabled. After the test it is very important toenable the teleprotection function again.

    This test case should show that the relays use the distance time grading if the teleprotection is disabled.

    >  The zone borders between Z1 and Z2 are at 30% of the line for relay B and at 70% of the line forrelay A

    >  The zone tolerance is assumed to be 5%

    >  The fault is located around the zone borders but not inside the tolerance band

    >  Fault locations: 24%, 36%, 64%, 76%

    Figure 19: Test Case 10

    → According to the time grading of the distance protection the relays have to show the following trip times:

    Trip Time Relay A 0 s 0 s 0 s 400 ms

    Trip Time Relay B 400 ms 0 s 0 s 0 s

    4.3 Measurement and assessment

    The Define Measurements menu of the Test steps tab (see Figure 9 number 3) defines the start and stopevent for the trip time measurements.

    >  The “start measuring event” is the beginning of a fault.

    >  The trip command is observed. The moment when the trip signal becomes active is the “stopmeasuring event”.

    >  The trip time is measured for relay A and B.

    5 Test sets configuration

    5.1 Test setup

    Due to the distribution of the protection system an end to end test of a distance teleprotection system withtwo ends requires two CMCs. RelaySimTest  offers the possibility to control both CMCs with one mainapplication via Internet. For this reason two computers with Internet access are necessary – one at the localand one at the remote end. The local PC runs the RelaySimTest  main application, the remote PC just aproxy application which takes care of network connection issues and announces the test device to thecontrolling software application at the other end. This proxy application is the OMICRON Test Set Remote Agent . How to configure RelaySimTest  and the Test Set Remote Agent for such an application is describedin the next chapter. Figure 22 illustrates the end to end test setup.

    To perform a test the main application of RelaySimTest  on the local PC calculates a fault scenario based on

    the simulation of the power system network. It calculates the voltages and currents not only for its own endbut also for the remote end. The results are used for the end to end test where the main application controls

    the local and the remote CMC.

    To perform an end to end test for a distance teleprotection system synchronized injection of test voltagesand currents is necessary. The synchronization ensures that both test sets – the local and the remote one –start the test at the same time. This is very important since any inaccuracy can result in an unwanted testimpedance and thus in an unexpected relay behavior. For this reason RelaySimTest  supports the use ofCMGPS 588  an antenna-integrated GPS controlled time reference to synchronize the starting point of aCMC test process. Each end needs its own CMGPS 588 (see Figure 22). It delivers a time signal using PTP(Precision Time Protocol). For more information about PTP see [3].

    5.2 The Test sets configurations in RelaySimTest and the Test Set Remote Agent 

    This chapter assumes that the test set up according to chapter  5.1 is already done:

    >  The local PC is running RelaySimTest , the remote PC the Test Set Remote Agent.

    >  Both have Internet access.

    >  The wiring between the CMCs and the relays is already done.

    >  The local and the remote CMC are already switched on and synchronized via CMGPS 588.

    >  If the connections between the CMCs and the PCs are done by Ethernet, it has to be ensuredthat both CMCs are associated to the local PC.

    The Test sets configurations menu (local PC) defines the CMCs and their configuration used for the tests. At first the test template includes two general CMCs as shown in Figure 23. The label on the left site of theCMC icon shows that the first CMC belongs to substation A and the second one to substation B.

    Figure 23: Test sets configuration menu of RelaySimTest (local PC)

     After a click on the “Choose test set” button on the right site of the CMC icon, a new window opens andoffers the CMC that is connected to the local PC. A click on the local CMC selects it.

    Figure 24: Local CMC is selected

    The Test Set Remote Agent  on the remote PC (see Figure 25) has to open an Internet session beforeRelaySimTest  can control the remote CMC. The upper part of the Test Set Remote Agent shows the remoteCMC. If the correct CMC is not already selected, it has to be chosen by using the “Change test set” button.

     A click on “Grant remote access” announces the remote CMC on an Internet server. After a short time theTest Set Remote Agent  displays a session ID for the Internet session. The software offers also the possibilityto use a session password, but this is optional.

    Figure 25: Test set remote agent (remote PC)

     A click on “Connect to Remote Test Set” in the Test sets configurations menu of RelaySimTest  (local PC)opens a window to enter the session ID from the remote end (see  Figure 26).

     Afterwards RelaySimTest  displays both CMCs – the local and the remote one. Figure 27 illustrates this. Thetest sets are ready for time synchronized injection due to the use of CMGPS 588. The green clock icon nextto the CMC icons indicate that.

    The Getting Started manual of RelaySimTest  [1] describes how the wiring between the CMCs and the relays can beconfigured in the Test sets configurations menu. To perform the tests of this application note the following signals haveto be configured for each CMC:

    >  three test voltages

    >  three test currents

    >  the start, trip, send and receive signals of the relay

    6 Performing the test

    Before a test is started it is strongly recommended to do a wiring check.

    DANGER

    Death or severe injury caused by high voltage or current.

      Always turn off each system involved to the test process before wiring up orrewiring the equipment.

    NOTICE

    Equipment damage or loss of data possible. 

      Always turn off each system involved to the test process before wiring up orrewiring the equipment.

    The execute buttons start the tests. There are different execute buttons - “Execute all” and “Executeselected”. What they mean depends on the menu where they are:

    >  If a test case is open a click on the “Execute selected” button executes only the selected teststep. A click on the “Execute all” button runs all test steps of the test case sequentially (seeFigure 28).

    >  In contrast to this in the Test Manager menu the “Execute selected” button runs all selected testcases, while “Execute all” runs all test cases (see Figure 29).

    Especially after tests with high currents it is meaningful to interrupt the test sequence with the Stop button.

    This ensures breaks between the tests to avoid too much stress for the relays.
