A New GPS-based Digital Protection System for Smart Grids in Loop Structure

Blog Article

This paper presents a new digital protection system to solve the protection challenges in future smart grids, i.e., fast protection and fault isolation CALMING LAVENDER BABY WASH in a loop-structured system with limited magnitude of fault current.

The new system combines two protection algorithms, i.e., a differential protection as the primary algorithm and an overcurrent protection as the backup one.

The new system uses real-time Ethernet and digital data acquisition techniques to overcome the restriction on data transmission over large grids.The current measurements at different locations are time-synchronized by GPS clocks, and then transmitted to a central computer via the Ethernet.As opposed to digital relays which often contain PMU functionality nowadays, this approach uses time ROSEHIP SEED OIL stamps on the instantaneous current values.

We build a prototype of the new system on a test-bed.The results from simulations and experiments have demonstrated that the protection system achieves fast and accurate protection.
