BUS BAR PROTECTION

ABSTRACT
Busbar protection has always been important, but high-speed schemes are now more necessary than ever because many power systems are operated close to their stability limits. For this reason, busbar and breaker failure protection schemes that require time coordination such as that provided by Zone 2 distance and overcurrent relays are no longer acceptable. Modern numerical relays use innovative algorithms to fulfill busbar protection requirements of fast operating times for all busbar faults, security for external faults with heavy CT saturation, and minimum delay for evolving faults. This paper describes a reliable substation protection system that involves busbar protection, station-wide breaker failure protection, and advanced zone selection. This protection system is suitable for application over a wide range of diverse protection philosophies. The paper suggests a unique combination of multiple protection principles and discusses the integration of stationwide busbar and breaker failure protection in one relay. In this paper, we explain an implementation of advanced zone selection and then present innovative busbar protection and station-wide breaker failure protection algorithms. We also provide diverse application philosophies, tie-breaker considerations, end-zone protection, and backup overcurrent protection. Finally, test results show the fast response of the relay for busbar faults, security for external faults, and minimum delay for evolving faults.
