ICHQP 2008. 13th International Conference on, 1 - 6.Modeling, Simulation, and Reduction of Conducted Electromagnetic Interference Due to a PWM Buck Type Switching Power Supply IA. FarhadiAbstract:Undesired generation of radiated or conducted energy in electrical systems is called Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). High speed switching frequency in power electronics converters especially in switching power supplies improves efficiency but leads to EMI. Different kind of conducted interference, EMI regulations and conducted EMI measurement are introduced in this paper. Compliancy with national or international regulation is called Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). Power electronic systems producers must regard EMC. Modeling and simulation is the first step of EMC evaluation. EMI simulation results due to a PWM Buck type switching power supply are presented in this paper. To improve EMC, some techniques are introduced and their effectiveness proved by simulation.Index Terms:Conducted, EMC, EMI, LISN, Switching SupplyI. INTRODUCTIONFAST semiconductors make it possible to have high speed and high frequency switching in power electronics []1. High speed switching causes weight and volume reduction of equipment, but some unwanted effects such as radio frequency interference appeared []2. Compliance with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations is necessary for producers to present their products to the markets. It is important to take EMC aspects already in design phase []3. Modeling and simulation is the most effective tool to analyze EMC consideration before developing the products. A lot of the previous studies concerned the low frequency analysis of power electronics components []4[]5. Different types of power electronics converters are capable to be considered as source of EMI. They could propagate the EMI in both radiated and conducted forms. Line Impedance Stabilization Network (LISN) is required for measurement and calculation of conducted interference level []6. Interference spectrum at the output of LISN is introduced as the EMC evaluation criterion []7[]8. National or international regulations are the references forthe evaluation of equipment in point of view of EMC []7[]8.II. SOURCE, PATH AND VICTIM OF EMIUndesired voltage or current is called interference and their cause is called interference source. In this paper a high-speed switching power supply is the source of interference.Interference propagated by radiation in area around of an interference source or by conduction through common cabling or wiring connections. In this study conducted emission is considered only. Equipment such as computers, receivers, amplifiers, industrial controllers, etc that are exposed to interference corruption are called victims. The common connections of elements, source lines and cabling provide paths for conducted noise or interference. Electromagnetic conducted interference has two components as differential mode and common mode []9.A. Differential mode conducted interferenceThis mode is related to the noise that is imposed between different lines of a test circuit by a noise source. Related current path is shown in Fig. 1 []9. The interference source, path impedances, differential mode current and load impedance are also shown in Fig. 1.B. Common mode conducted interferenceCommon mode noise or interference could appear and impose between the lines, cables or connections and common ground. Any leakage current between load and common ground couldbe modeled by interference voltage source.Fig. 2 demonstrates the common mode interference source, common mode currents Iandcm1 and the related current paths[]9.The power electronics converters perform as noise source Icm2between lines of the supply network. In this study differential mode of conducted interference is particularly important and discussion will be continued considering this mode only.III. ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY REGULATIONS Application of electrical equipment especially static power electronic converters in different equipment is increasing more and more. As mentioned before, power electronics converters are considered as an important source of electromagnetic interference and have corrupting effects on the electric networks []2. High level of pollution resulting from various disturbances reduces the quality of power in electric networks. On the other side some residential, commercial and especially medical consumers are so sensitive to power system disturbances including voltage and frequency variations. The best solution to reduce corruption and improve power quality is complying national or international EMC regulations. CISPR, IEC, FCC and VDE are among the most famous organizations from Europe, USA and Germany who are responsible for determining and publishing the most important EMC regulations. IEC and VDE requirement and limitations on conducted emission are shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 []7[]9.For different groups of consumers different classes of regulations could be complied. Class Afor common consumers and class B with more hard limitations for special consumers are separated in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4. Frequency range of limitation is different for IEC and VDE that are 150 kHz up to 30 MHz and 10 kHz up to 30 MHz respectively. Compliance of regulations is evaluated by comparison of measured or calculated conducted interference level in the mentioned frequency range with the stated requirements in regulations. In united European community compliance of regulation is mandatory and products must have certified label to show covering of requirements []8.IV. ELECTROMAGNETIC CONDUCTED INTERFERENCE MEASUREMENTA. Line Impedance Stabilization Network (LISN)1-Providing a low impedance path to transfer power from source to power electronics converter and load.2-Providing a low impedance path from interference source, here power electronics converter, to measurement port.Variation of LISN impedance versus frequency with the mentioned topology is presented inFig. 7. LISN has stabilized impedance in the range of conducted EMI measurement []7.Variation of level of signal at the output of LISN versus frequency is the spectrum of interference. The electromagnetic compatibility of a system can be evaluated by comparison of its interference spectrum with the standard limitations. The level of signal at the output of LISN in frequency range 10 kHz up to 30 MHz or 150 kHz up to 30 MHz is criterion of compatibility and should be under the standard limitations. In practical situations, the LISN output is connected to a spectrum analyzer and interference measurement is carried out. But for modeling and simulation purposes, the LISN output spectrum is calculated using appropriate software.基于压降型PWM开关电源的建模、仿真和减少传导性电磁干扰摘要:电子设备之中杂乱的辐射或者能量叫做电磁干扰(EMI)。
Power System ProtectionsThe steady-state operation of a power system is frequently disturbed by various faults on electrical equipment. To maintain the proper operation of the power system, an effective, efficient and reliable protection scheme is required. Power system components are designed to operate under normal operating conditions. However, if due to any reason, say a fault, there is an abnormality, it is necessary that there should be a device which senses these abnormal conditions and if so, the element or component where such an abnormality has taken place is removed, i.e. deleted from the rest of the system as soon as possible. This is necessary because the power system component can never be designed to withstand the worst possible conditions due to the fact that this will make the whole system highly uneconomical. And therefore, if such an abnormality takes place in any element or component of the power system network, it is desirable that the affected element / component is removed from the rest of the system reliably and quickly in order to restore power in the remaining system under the normal condition as soon as possible.A power system represents a very large capital investment. To maximize the return on this outlay. the system must be loaded as much as possible. For this reason it is necessary not only to provide a supply of energy which is attractive to prospective users by operating the system ,but also to keep the system in full operation as far as possible continuously, so that it may give the best service to the consumer, and earn the most revenue for the supply authority. Absolute freedom from failure of the plant and system network cannot be Guarani- teed. The risk of a fault occurring, however slight for each item, is multiplied by the number of such items which are closely associated in an extensive system, as any fault produces repercussions throughout the network. When the system is large, the chance of a fault occurring and the disturbance that a fault would bring are bothso great that with ou equipment to remove faults the system will become, in practical terms, inoperable. The object of the system will be defeated if adequate provision for fault clearance is not made. Nor is the installation of switch gear alone sufficient; discriminant protective gear, designed according to the characteristics and requirements of the power system. must be provided to control the switch gear. A system is not properly designed and managed if it is not adequately protected.The protection scheme includes both the protective relays and switching circuits, i.e. circuit breakers. The protective relay which functions as a brain is a very important component. The protective relay is a sensing device, which senses the fault, determines its location and then send command to the proper circuit breaker by closing its trip coil. The circuit breaker after getting command from the protective relay, disconnects only the faulted element. This is why the protective relay must be reliable, maintainable and fast in operation.In early days, there used to be electromagnet relay of induction disk-type. However, very soon the disk was replaced by inverted cup, i.e. hollow cylinder and the new relay obtained was known as an induction cup or induction cylinder relay. This relay, which is still in use, possesses several important features such as higher speed, higher torque for a given power input and more uniform torque.However, with the advent of electronic tubes, electronic relays having distinct features were developed during 1940s. With the discovery of solid state components during 1950s, static relays with numerous advantages were developed. The use of digital computers for protective relaying purposes has been engaging the attention of research and practicing engaging the attention of research and practicing engineers since late 1960s and 1980s. Now, the microprocessor/mini computer-basedrelaying scheme, because of its numerous advantages such as self-checking feature and flexibility, has been widely used in power systems all over the world.The overall system protection is divided into following sections:(i) Generator protection,(ii) Transformer protection,(iii) Bus protection,(iv) Feeder protection,(v) Transmission line protection.Basic Requirements to Protective RelaysAny protection scheme, which is required to safeguard the power system components against abnormal conditions such as faults, consists basically of two elements: (i) Protective relay and (ii) Circuit breaker. The protective relay which is primarily the brain behind the whole scheme plays a very important role. Therefore proper care should be taken in selecting an appropriate protective relay which is reliable, efficient and fast in operation. The protective relay must satisfy the following requirements:(1) Since faults on a well designed and healthy system are normally rare, the relays are called upon to operate only occasionally. This means that the relaying scheme is normally idle and must operate whenever fault occurs. In other words, it must be reliable.(2) Since the reliability partly depends upon the maintenance, the relay must be easily maintainable.(3) The alliteration of the relay can be in two ways. One is the failure to operate in case a fault occurs and second is the relay operation when there is no fault. As a matter of fact, relay must operate if there isa fault and must not operate if there is no fault.(4) Relaying scheme must be sensitive enough to distinguish betweennormal and the faulty system.Protective RelaysThe function of the protective relays is to sense the fault and energize the trip coil of the circuit breaker. The following types of protective relays are used for the apparatus such as synchronous machines, bus bar, transformer and the other apparatus and transmission line protection.(1)Crosscurrent relays.(2)Under voltage relays.(3)Infrequence relays.(4)Directional relays.(5)Thermal relays.(6)Phase sequence relays such as (i) negative sequence relays and, (ii) zero sequence relays.(7)Differential relays and percentage differential relays.(8)Distance relays such as (i) plane impedance relays, (ii) angle impedance relays, i.e. Ohm or reactance relays, (iii) angle admittance relays, i.e. Ho relays and, (iv) offset and restricted relays.(9)Pilot relays such as (i) wire pilot relays, (ii) carrier channel pilot relays, (iii) microwave pilot relays.There are different types of the relaying scheme based on construction. They are: (i) electromagnet type, (ii) thermal relays, (iii) transactor relays, (iv) rectifier bridge relay, (v) electronic relays, (vi) static relays, (vii) digital relaying schemes.Faults and Their Damages on Power SystemsFaults on Transmission LinesBecause transmission lines are exposed to lightning and otheratmospheric hazards, faults on them occur more frequently than those in apparatus. The types of faults taking place on a transmission line are listed, in the order of severity, as following:(1)3-φ fault (LLL fault) or 3-φ to ground fault (LLLG fault) with or without fault impedance. This fault which is most severe but least common is only one in number.(2)Double line to ground (LLG) fault with or without fault impedance. This fault is less severe but more common than 3-φ fault. However, this type of faults are three in number.(3)Line to line (LL) fault. This fault is more common but less severe than the above faults. These faults are also three in number.(4)Single line to ground (LG) fault. This fault is the least severe but the most common one. These faults are also three in number.From the above, we conclude that are four types of faults which are ten in number. The first three faults such as LLL or LLLG, LLG and LL faults involving two or more phases are known as phase fault while the fourth fault, namely, LG fault, is called ground fault. All of the line faults will bring the system into abnormal operating conditions, and may damage electrical equipment. Therefore, the faulty lines must be isolated from the system by protection relays.Faults in Synchronous MachinesGenerators are subjected to varieties of possible hazards when they are in operation. The possible hazards or faults which may occur in a synchronous generator can broadly be classified into two categories: (i) internal faults within the generator, (ii) abnormal operating and/or abnormal system conditions caused by external faults. Internal faults of a generator mainly include gustatory faults and rotor faults.Gustatory Faults----Within the gustatory winding, faults can occurdue to failure of insulation (i.e. dielectric) and open circuit of conductor. Failure of insulation can lead to the short circuit between: (i) two or more phases, (ii) phase and core, (iii) two or more turns of the same phase (i.e. inter turn fault).Failure of insulation can occur due to over voltage, overheating caused by unbalanced loading, by overloading, by ventilation troubles, and by improper cooling of lubrication oil. It may also be caused by conductor movement due to forces exerted by short circuit currents or out of step operation. The most common fault in the gustatory winding is ground fault; about 85% of the faults are phase to ground faults in any generator winding. Phase to ground fault if persists may lead to phase to phase fault and even to phase-phase-phase fault (three-phase short circuit), which is the most severe fault though least common. The cause of over voltage which ultimately results into failure of insulation can be due to over speed of the prime mover, or due to defective voltage regulator; however, these days governors and voltage regulators act very fast and prevent any damage to the winding insulation.Rotor Faults----In the rotor winding also failure of insulation between field winding and core or two or more turns can occur. These faults may ultimately result in unbalanced currents and heating of the rotor. If the rotor is foregrounded, first earth fault does not show any effect but a second earth fault increases the current in the affected portion of winding which may cause distortion and permanent damage. It is advisable to open the field circuit breaker even with single earth fault to avoid second earth fault to avoid second earth fault so as to prevent local heating.Abnormal operating conditions / miscellaneous faults----There are a number of abnormal conditions which do not occur in the gustatory or rotor winding, but are undesirable since they can damage the generator. Eachof these conditions is discussed in the following.(1)Loss of synchronic. This condition can occur either due to loss of field excitation or governor becomes defective. During out of step condition, as the swing angle between the generated voltage of the machine and that of other units in the system changes, the current in any such unit varies in magnitude. The current surges that result are cyclical in nature, their frequency being a function of reactive rate of slip of the poles in the machine. The resulted high peak currents and off-frequency operation can cause winding stresses, and pulsating torques which can excite mechanical resonances that can be potentially damaging to the generator and to the shifts. Thus generator should be tripped without any delay within the first slip cycle to avoid any major damage.(2)Over speed. The cause of over speed is sudden loss of a very large load; sometimes this happens due to tripping of circuit breaker near the generator end. In the case of steam turbine, the steam can be shut off immediately but in case of hydro turbine, the water flow cannot be stopped quickly, due to the mechanical and hydraulic inertia. The governor controls the over speeding so as to avoid any high voltage, high frequency and manically damage to the generators. The setting of an over speed rating may be 115% for steam turbines and 140% for hydro-disturbing.(3)Motoring. In a mufti-generator system, when prime mover fails to provide required speed, the generator may act as a motor, drawing power from the system, instead of supplying power. Generally motoring is prevented by sensitive reverse power relay which operates on about 0.5% reverse power.(4)Under speed. Due to failure of steam or water supply to the prime mover, the speed of the generator will reduce and if the reverse power relay fails, then under speed and/or infrequence relay comes into picture and trips the circuit breaker.(5)Loss of excitation. Excitation failure may be caused by a faulty field circuit breaker or failure of the exciter. It can be detected by an undercurrent dc relay. Due to failure of excitation, the synchronous generator may act as an induction generator thereby absorbing reactive power (i.e. sink of reactive power). Turbine generator tends to overheat the rotor and the slot wedges under these conditions because of heavy currents in these parts and sometimes arcing occurs at metal wedges in the slots.(6)Over voltage. This may be caused due to over speed or elicitation when speed governor or voltage regulator fails to act as desired.(7)Gustatory overheating. Overheating may occur due to bearing failure, overloading, inadequate lubrication, or improper cooling of lubricating oil, etc. Overheating affects the dielectric strength of insulation.(8)External faults. Whenever abnormal conditions occur beyond the generator protection zone, the generator is also affected since the very source of power to the external fault is the generator itself. These conditions can be detected by the magnitude of negative sequence current, second harmonic current in field current and line crosscurrent relay.Power System ProtectionsIntroductionThe steady-state operation of a power system is frequently disturbed by various faults on electrical equipment.

Overheating may occur due to bearing failure, overloading, inadequate lubrication, or improper cooling of lubricating oil, etc. Overheating affects the dielectric strength of insulation.(8)External faults. Whenever abnormal conditions occur beyond the generator protection zone, the generator is also affected since the very source of power to the external fault is the generator itself. These conditions can be detected by the magnitude of negative sequence current, second harmonic current in field current and line crosscurrent relay.。

Protection relayMicrocomuter-based RlayingA newer development in the of power system protection is the of computers (usually microcomputers) for relaying. Although computers provide the same protection as that supplied by conventional relays, there are some advantages to the use of computer-based relaying. The logic capability and application expansion possibilities for computer-based relaying is much greater than for electromechanical devices. Computer-based relaying samples the values of the current, voltage, and other items covered in the protection scheme several times a second, and by use of A/D converters, change these analog values to digital form and then send them to the computer. In the event of a fault, the computer can calculate the fault’s current values and characteristics, and settings can be changed merely by reprogramming. Computer-based relaying are also capable of locating faults, which has been one of the most popular features in their application. In addition, self-checking features can be built in and sequence of events information can be downloaded to remote computers for fast analysis of relaying operations. Computer-based relying system consists of subsystems with well defined functions. Although a specific subsystem may be different in some of its details, these subsystems are most likely to be incorporated in its design in some form. The block diagram in Figure 13-1 shows the principal subsystems of a computer-based relaying. The processor is the center of its organization. It is responsible for the execution of relaying programs, maintenance of various timing functions, and communicating with its peripheral equipment. Several types of memories are shown in Figure 13-1─each of them serves a specific need. The Random Access Memory (RAM) holds the input sample data as they are brought in and processed. The Read Only Memory (ROM) or Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM) is used to store the programs permanently. In some cases the programs may execute directly form the ROM if its read time is short enough. If this is not the case, the programs must be copied form the ROM into the RAM during an initialization stage, and then the real-time execution would take place form the RAM. The Erasable PROM (EPROM) is needed for storing certain parameters (such as the relaying settings) which may be changed form time to time, but once it is set it must remain fixed even if the power supply to the computer is interrupted. The relaying inputs are currents and voltages─or, to a lesser extent─digital signals indicating contact status. The analog signals must be converted to voltage signals suitable for conversion to digital form. The current and voltage signals obtained form current and voltage transformer secondary windings must be restricted to a full scale value of ±10 volts. The current inputs must be converted to voltages by resistive shunts. As the normal current transformer secondary currents may be as hundreds of amperes, shunts of resistance of a few milliohms are needed to produce the desired voltage for Analog to Digital Converter (ADC). An alternative arrangement would be to use an auxiliary current transformer to reduce the current to lower level. An auxiliary current transformer serves another function: that of providing electrical isolation between the min CT secondary and the computer input system. Since the digital computer can be programmed to perform several functions as long as it has the input and output signals needed for those functions. It is simple matter to the relaying computer to do many other substation tasks, for example, measuring and monitoring flows and voltages in transformers and transmission lines, controlling the opening and closing of circuit breakers and switches, providing backup for other devices that have failed, are functions that can be taken over by the relaying computer. With the programability and communication capability, the computer-based relaying offers yet another possible advantage that is not easily realizable in a conventional system. This is the ability to change the relay characteristics (settings) as the system conditions warrant it. With reasonable prospects of having affordable computer-based relaying which can be dedicated to single protection function, attention soon turned to the opportunities offered by computer-based relaying to integrate them into a substation, perhaps even a system-wide network. Integrated computer systems for substations which handle relaying, monitoring, and control tasks offer novel opportunities for improving overall system performance.Computer relaying The electric power industry has been one of the earliest users of the digital computer as a fundamental aid in the various design and analysis aspects of its activity. Computer-based systems have evolved to perform such complex tasks as generation control, economic dispatch (treated in chapter 11)and load-flow analysis for planning and operation , to name just a few application areas. research efforts directed at the prospect using digital computers to perform the tasks involved in power system protection date back to the mien-sixties and were motivated by the emergence of process-control computers a great deal of research is going on in this field, which is now referred to as computer relaying. Up to the early 1980s there had been no commercially availability protection systems offering digital computer-based relays. However, the availability of microprocessor technology has provided an impetus to computer relaying.*Microprocessors used as a replace*and solid state relays non provide a number of advantages while meeting the basic protection philosophy requirement of decentralization. There are many perceived benefits of a digital relaying system: 1. Economics: with the steady decrease in cost of digital hardware, coupled with the increase in cost of conventional relaying. It seems reasonable to assume that computer relaying is an attractive alternative. Software development cost can be expected to be evened out by utilizing economies of scale in producing microprocessors dedicated to basic relaying tasks. 2. Reliability: a digital system is continuously active providing a high level of a self-diagnosis to detect accidental failures within the digital relaying system. 3. Flexibility: revisions or modifications made necessary by changing operational conditions can be accommodated by utilizing the programmability features of a digital system. This would lead to reduced inventories of parts for repair and maintenance purposes 4. System interaction: the availability of digital hardware that monitors continuously the system performance at remote substations can enhance the level of information available to the control center. Post fault analysis of transient data can be performed on the basis of system variables monitored by the digital relay and recorded by the peripherals.The main elements of a digital computer-based relay are indicated in Figure 9-59. The input signals to the relay are analog (continuous) and digital power system variables. The digital inputs are of the order of five to ten and include status changes (on-off) of contacts and changes in voltage levels in a circuit. The analog signals are the 60-Hz currents and voltages. The number of analog signals needed depends on the relay function but is in the range of 3 to 30 in all cases. The analog signals are scaled down (attenuated) to acceptable computer input levels (10 volts maximum) and then converted to digital (discrete) form through analog/digital converters (ADC). These functions are performed in the block labeled “Analog Input Subsystem.” The digital output of the relay is available through the computer’s parallel output port, five-to-ten digital outputs are sufficient for most applications. The analog signals are sampled at a rate between 210 Hz to about 2000 Hz. The sampled signals are entered into the scratch pad (RAM) and are storedin a secondary data file for historical recording. A digital filter removes noise effects from the sampled signals. The relay logic program determines the functional operation of the relay and uses the filtered sampled signals to arrive at a trip or no trip decision which is then communicated to the system. The heart of the relay logic program is a relaying algorithm that is designed to perform the intended relay function such as over currents detection, differential protection, or distance protection, etc. It is not our intention in this introductory text to purse this involved in a relaying algorithm, we discuss next one idea for peak current detection that is the function of a digital over current relay.。

Protection of Electrical SystemAll electrical systems have the common purpose of providing electrical energy to the utilization equipment as safely and reliably as is economically feasible .The utilization equipment then converts the electrical energy to other forms, such as mechanical, light, and heat energy .The design of the electrical energy to transmit the electrical energy to the utilization equipment must focus on two basic requirements. First, the system must be adequate to deliver to each piece of equipment the necessary energy on a continuous basis under normal conditions. Second, the system must be designed to minimize power outages and damage in the event that abnormal conditions occur on the system. The following is a list of abnormal conditions that can occur on a system and for which corrective action should be taken:1.Overloads2.Short circuits3.Under voltage4.Single phasing of three phase systems5.Over-voltages and transient surges6.Incorrect synchronizing of frequencies7.Incorrect phase sequence8.Reverse power flowNext in order of priorities is the desirability of keeping damage to the electrical equipment to the absolute minimum so that normal operation can resume as quickly as possible .Finally it makes economic sense, especially with large system can continue to operate normally .This requirement for the least amount of shutdown of the system involves coordination of the protective devices.The protective device has two major functions:(1) to detect an abnormal condition on that portion of the system that it is protecting and (2) to automatically and safely disconnect the faulted portion from the balance of the system .Protective devices such as fuses and most low-voltage circuit breakers combine both the detection unit and the disconnecting means in the one unit. Other types of protectivedevices separate the two functions. For example, medium-and high-voltage circuit breakers normally only perform the disconnecting function. They must be used in conjunction with separate protective relays that detect the abnormal conditions and then initiate the tripping of the circuit breaker. It must be emphasized again that protective devices cannot prevent faults from occurring on the system, but can only minimize their effects.Protective devices are rated for the following:1.Maximum continuous voltage: This is the maximum voltage that can be continuously applied to the device without eventually causing the insulation to fail.2.Maximum continuous current: This is the maximum load current that the device can carry continuously without the contacts or other current-carrying parts overheating.3.Interrupting rating: This is the maximum current that the device can safely interrupt at the specified voltage.4.Short-time current ratings:(a)Momentary: This is the maximum rms current that the device can withstand with regard to mechanical stressing. The maximum stressing occur one half-cycle after the fault starts. This rating is necessary to ensure that the device is not physically damaged before it can operate to disconnect the faulted part of the system.(b) Specified time: This is the maximum rms current that the device can withstand for a specified time 0.5% with regard to thermal stressing .In the case of breakers, it is sometimes necessary under severe short circuits to delay their opening for a very short period of time in order to coordinate with other devices .This rating is necessary to ensure that the breaker is not damaged by heat before it can operate to disconnect the faulted part of the system.Protective RelayingProtective relaying is that area of power system design concerned with minimizing service interruption and limiting damage to equipment when failures occur. The function of protective relaying is to cause the prompt removal of adefective element from a power system .The defective element may have a short circuit or it may be operating in an abnormal manner. Protective relaying systems are designed to detect such failures or abnormal conditions quickly (commensurate with system requirements) and to open a minimum of circuit breakers to isolate the defective element. The effect of quick isolate is threefold: (1) it minimizes or prevents damage to the defective element, thus reducing the time and expense of repairs and permitting quicker restoration of the element to service; (2) it minimizes the power system; and (3) it. maximizes the power that can be transferred on power system. The second and third points are of particular significance because they indicate the important role protective relaying plays in assuring maximum service reliability and in system design. The power that can be transmitted across system without the loss of synchronism is the function of fault clearing times. It is apparent that fast fault clearing times permit a higher power transfer than longer clearing times. High-speed clearing of faults can often provide a means for achieving higher power transfers and thereby defer investment in additional transmission facilities.A protective relaying system is based on detecting fault conditions by continuously monitoring the power system variable such as current, voltage, power, frequency, and impedance. Measuring of currents and voltage is performed by instrument transformers of the potential type (PT) or current type (CT). Instrument transformers feed the measured variables to the relay system, which in return, upon detecting a fault, commands circuit breaker (CB) to disconnect the faulted section of the system.An electric relaying system is divided into several protective zones for generators, transformers, buses, transmission and distribution circuits, and motors. The division is such that zones are given adequate protection while keeping service interruption to a minimum. It is to be noted that each zone is overlapped to avoid unprotected (blind) areas. The connections of current transformers achieve the overlapping. The general philosophy of relay application is divide the power system into zones that can be adequately protected by suitable protective equipment and can be disconnected from the power system in a minimum amount of time and with theleast effect on the remainder of the power system. The protective relaying provided for each zone is divided into two categories: (1) primary relaying and (2) backup relaying. Primary relaying is the first line of defense when failures occur, and is connected to trip only the protective relays will operate to trip all of the breakers within that zone. If a breaker is omitted between two adjacent elements, both elements will be disconnected for a failure in either one. This latter arrangement is illustrated by the unit generator-transformer connection in the power plant. On bulk power generating and transmission systems, primary protection is designed to operate at high speed for all faults. Slower protection may be used in less important system areas but, in general, any system area will benefit by the fastest possible primary relaying.If the fault is not cleared by the primary protection, backup relaying operates to clear the fault from the system. In general, backup relaying disconnects a greater portion of the system to isolate the fault. Backup protection is provided for possible failure in the primary both relay backup as well as breaker backup. Ideally, the backup protection should be arranged so that anything that may cause the primary protection to fail will not also cause failure of the backup protection .Moreover, the backup protection must not operate until the primary protection has been given an opportunity to function. As a result, there is time delay associated with any backup operation. When a short circuit occurs, both the primary and the backup protection start to operate. If the primary protection clears the fault, the backup protection will reset without completing its function. If the fault is not cleared by the primary protection, the backup relaying will time out and trip the necessary breakers to clear the fault from the system.There are two forms of backup protection in common use on power system. They are remote backup and local backup.(1)Remote backup. In remote backup relaying, faults are cleared from thesystem one station away from where the failure has occurred.(2)Local backup. In local backup relaying, faults are cleared locally in thesame station where the failure has occurred. For faults on the protectedline, both the primary and the backup relays will operate to preparetripping the line breaker. Relay backup may be just as fast as the front linerelays. When either of these relays operates to initiate tripping of the linebreaker, it also energizes a timer to start the breaker backup function. Ifthe breaker fails to cleat the fault, the line relays will remain picked up,permitting the timer to time out and trip the necessary other breaker onthe associated bus section.Microcomputer-based RelayingA new development in the field of power system protection is the use of computers (usually microcomputers) for relaying. Although computers provide the same protection as that supplied by conventional relays, there are some advantages to the use of computer-based relaying is much greater than for electromechanical devices. Computer-based relaying samples the values of the current, voltage, and other items covered in the protection scheme several times a second, and by use of A/D converters, change these analog values to digital form and then send them to the computer.

The Random Access Memory (ROM) or Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM) is used to store the programs permanently. In some cases the programs may execute directly from the ROM if its read time is short enough. If this is not the case, the programs must be copied from the ROM into the PAM during an initialization stage, and then the real-time execution would take placefrom the RAM. The Erasable PROM (EPROM) is needed for storing certain parameters (such as the relaying settings) which may be changed from time to time, but once it is set it must remain fixed even if the power supply to the computer is interrupted.The relaying inputs are currents and voltages -- or, to a lesser extent –digital signals indicating contact status.

An alternative arrangement would be to use an auxiliary current another function; that of providing electrical isolation between the main CT secondary and the computer input system.
