A novel criterion for exactly identifying the machine leading to overvoltage of the common bus among the machines working in parallel is developed. Lose of selectivity of existing schemes in some cases is discussed. Correspondingly, an improved scheme is proposed. The change of nonload electromotive force (EMF) of generator is used to design a correction coefficient for the operation time characte...Show More
To deal with the maloperation of distance protection in the case of power swings, the criterion of “concentric circle” was widely used. This criterion is implemented based on the time difference that the apparent impedance locus passes through boundaries of these two impedance circles. In many cases (e.g., a very fast power swing), it will fail to block. Actually, with regard to different moving l...Show More
A new criterion to detect the stator single phase-to-ground fault for Powerformer is proposed in this paper, which is based on the direction of zero-sequence compositive power flow. By virtue of the analysis of new fault characteristics of Powerformer and the comparison with conventional methods, a novel identification scheme is put forward. The proposed approach detects the ground fault by analyz...Show More
A novel, fast unblocking scheme for distance protection to identify symmetrical faults occurring during power swings has been proposed in this paper. First of all, the change rate of three-phase active power and reactive power being the cosine function and the sine function with respect to the phase difference between the two power systems during power swings has been demonstrated. In this case, t...Show More
Based on the analysis of the relationship between the terminal voltages and the reactive power of a generator, the shortcomings of the available scheme to protect generators in parallel from overvoltage have been pointed out, and a novel overvoltage protection scheme is put forward. For machines connected directly to busbars, especially for powerformers, a novel type of high voltage generators, th...Show More
Single phase-to-ground faults are the most frequent faults likely to occur in power distribution networks. The fault current of the faulty feeder is quite low when a single-phase earth fault occurs on a neutral non-effectively grounded grid. As for the safety of the system, such faults should be quickly distinguished and the faulty feeder should be correctly selected as well. This paper analyses t...Show More
This paper discusses the set up of a mathematical model of the powerformer, a new type of salient-pole synchronous machine, for analyzing internal phase and ground faults in stator windings. The method employs a direct-phase representation considering the cable capacitance. To effectively implement the internal fault simulation, the magnetic axis locations of fault parts are arranged appropriately...Show More
