We provide guidance regarding test signals, propose a number of ways to measure and compare relay performance, discuss the issue of type testing, and review requirements for transient simulation and playback tools for testing ultra-high-speed line protective relays. Protective Relays - Technical Seminar Nov 2016 - Copyright: IEEE 2 Abstract: Protective relays and devices have been developed over 100 years ago to provide “lastline”of defense for the electrical systems. The IEC standard for relay coordination provides clear guidelines and methodologies to ensure that protective relays work in harmony to isolate only the faulty section of the system while keeping the rest. So, in this case, to protect the whole line, the setting has to be able to detect fault current above 150 A. At this setting,this is as far as we can reach down the line before the fault becomes undetectable. Power system stability means also. Abstract—This paper focuses on defining and measuring the performance of line protective relays. All calculations are based on the available documentation/ information.
