Summary The paper presents integrated impedance-based intelligent relaying for thyristor-controlled series capacitor-compensated transmission lines on Real Time Digital Simulator platform. Integrated impedance is defined as the ratio of sum of the voltage phasors across two ends of the transmission line to the sum of the current phasors through two ends of the same transmission line. The imaginary part of integrated impedance of the transmission line is used as input to a data-mining model known as decision tree that determines whether the fault is within the protected zone or not. Critical issues such as power swing and fault during power swing are also included during validation of the relay on Real time digital simulator platform. The test results obtained indicate that the proposed integrated impedance-based intelligent relaying is highly dependable and secure for protection of extra high voltage transmission lines including thyristor-controlled series capacitor. © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

This study presents a variational mode decomposition (VMD)-based approach to analyse wide-area (WA) measurements based signals. The commonly used empirical mode decomposition (EMD) has limitations such as sensitivity to noise and sampling rate. However, VMD is an entirely non-recursive algorithm, where the modes are extracted concurrently. These modes help in extracting dynamic patterns of different power system disturbances. The performance of the proposed scheme is extensively validated on the IEEE-39 bus New England test system. The modes generated and the frequency deviation contours of the disturbances including generation loss, fault and line outage are assessed using VMD and the results provide improved performance in terms of decomposition quality compared with the existing EMD technique. Furthermore, a data-mining model known as decision tree is used to classify different power system disturbances based on intrinsic mode functions generated through VMD. The suggested method shows improved decomposition quality and classification accuracy. Thus, the proposed scheme is a potential candidate for improving WA situational awareness along with a post-mortem analysis of real events occurring in a power system. © The Institution of Engineering and Technology.

Variational mode decomposition-based power system disturbance assessment to enhance WA situational awareness and post-mortem analysis

This paper proposes a synchrophasors-assisted intelligent relaying scheme for transmission lines compensated by Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC). The algorithm uses a new relaying signal termed as imaginary part of integrated impedance (IPII). The synchronized phasor measurements at both ends of the transmission line are used to extract voltage and current phasors from instantaneous voltage and current signals. The voltage and current phasors are utilized to derive IPII of each phase. Further, IPII of each phase is used as input to a data-mining model termed as decision tree (DT) which provides the final relaying decision. The proposed algorithm is validated on real-time digital simulator (RTDS) platform, and the results obtained indicate that the proposed scheme is both dependable and secure in protecting transmission system compensated by UPFC. © 2015 Walter de Gruyter GmbH.
