Protection Findings – Z1 Overreach cont’d
> Likely due to sub-harmonic frequency oscillation
> Spiralling through Zone 1 characteristic

Protection Findings – Directional Element
> Negative sequence impedance
– Sign and magnitude

Protection Findings – ‘Auto’ vs ‘Close-to-
Zero’ Setting
C.t.Z Settings:
𝑍↓2𝐹 =0.1 𝑍↓2𝑅 =0.6
Event Phasor:
𝑉↓2 =49.42∠79° 𝐼↓2 =0.18∠59.63°
Negative Sequence Z:
𝑍↓2 =𝑅𝑒{𝑉↓2 ∙[𝐼↓2 ∙(1∠𝑍↓1𝐴𝑁𝐺 ) ]}/(|𝐼↓2 |)↑2 =117.64

Protection Findings – SPO
> Fault location – F1

SSCI and SSR Simulations
> SSCI Simulation
– With deliberately included generation model in RSCAD
– Radial connection
– Not observed -> due to the size of modelled power system, power electronics
and control system are limited by the hardware to perform real time simulation
– More effective and realistic with offline simulation and waveform playback
> SSR
– Radial connection
– Small electrical
oscillation at 12Hz
– Significant?
13
Series Capacitor Controller Verification
> Emulated in RSCAD
for most simulations
14
In-service Experience
> Placed in service since July 2016
> Several storm activities in the state but line protection has remained
stable as it was required
> An unbalance fault occurred during commissioning
15
Conclusion
> RTDS testing has been valued as effective and crucial process
> Challenges of setting directional elements
> Close-to-Zero setting has been proved to be more secure than ‘Auto’
setting
