Power System Disturbance Analysis Function

An analysis of system disturbances provides a wealth of valuable information regarding power system phenomena and the behavior of protection systems. Experience can be enhanced and knowledge can be gained from the analysis function. This book is organized, first, to cover the analysis function and how it can be implemented. Then, in the following sections, phenomena related to system faults and the clearing process of faults from the power system are described. Power system phenomena derived from an analysis of system disturbances are stated. In addition, case studies of actual system disturbances involving the performance of protection systems for generators, transformers, overhead transmission lines, cable feeders, and breaker failures are provided. A section is devoted to problems that enhance an understanding of the system disturbance analysis function.

Analysis of system disturbance is based on 60-Hz phenomena associated with power system faults. Therefore, sampling rates of digital fault recorders (DFRs) are designed to fulfill this requirement. High-frequency power system transient analysis requires special devices other than conventional DFRs and numerical relays, with unique requirements different from those of a traditional power system disturbance analysis function.

To analyze the performance of protective relaying systems, high-speed digital fault and disturbance recording devices need to be employed properly. Equipment ...
