Fall 2016

Class Project
Due Date: 23/01/2017
You can form a team of three people (maximum) and each team member will receive the
same grade unless there is strong evidence about unequal effort among team members. You
may divide the work equally among yourselves and each of you should have a complete
understanding of the total project not just your part.
Collaboration with other groups should be restricted to troubleshooting only. We realize
that, because you are all using the same data, your results may overlap but this is a design
exercise and your results will depend on your assumption and approach to the problem.
Nonetheless, evidence that project was done collaboratively will result in a MAJOR penalty
to your grade.
To receive full credit, projects must be turned in on the due date. Unless arranged with us
BEFORE the due date, late projects will be marked down 10% for every day and not be
accepted beyond one week after the due date.
Option A (Research Paper)
Select a recent (less than 2 year old) research paper from a reputed journal preferable an IEEE
transactions from the area of Power System Protection. Replicate the simulation results, give your
analysis and conclusions on the results and suggest any further improvements to the work already shown
in the paper and simulate it. Impressive ideas can get you bonus points.

Option B (Design Procedure)

Read the problem statements carefully and consult us if you need any clarifications. You will submit a
report summarizing your analysis of the problem and a softcopy of your simulation for each case to be
written on a DVD. Your project report must clearly indicate the group members along with their roll
numbers. The softcopy (on DVD) of the simulation should be organized in folders for each case and a
parent folder indicating the group members names. Disorganized submissions will lose some marks as
it is quite troublesome for us to figure out different cases submitted by you. Submission of both
report and DVD is required in order to get credit for the project. Email submission is not allowed for
any student. Please ensure that your submitted cases run on the simulator in order to get full credit.

Grading Criteria

20%

quality of solution and innovation

Problem Statement
1. For a single line diagram shown below, the generation, transformation, transmission and
utilization data is given. Simulate the entire system on MATLAB/Simulink in steady state.
Represent the values for phase voltages and line currents for each line in tabular form. Calculate
the Real Power flowing in each line using Simulink Libraries and represent them in tabular form.
2. Design the protection scheme for the entire system using

Definite Time Over Current Relays

Definite Time Over/Under Voltage Relays
Differential Protection Relays,
Over and under frequency relay

Where applicable, for the circuit breakers shown in the diagram. Represent the pick-up values for
each DTOC, DTOV/DTUV relay on the basis of the results obtained in Part 1. All the relays must
wait for 4 cycles before tripping a circuit breaker in order to ignore the transients due to frequent
load switching.
3. Simulate a Single Line to Ground fault on L3 at 0.2 second. Which relay has to operate first?
Identify the breakers for primary and secondary protection. Submit the current waveforms for L3
for 1 complete second. Represent the Real Power flows for the entire system after 1 second in
tabular form.
4. Simulate an overvoltage three phase fault on L4 at 0.3 second. Which relay has to operate?
Identify the breakers for primary and secondary protection. Submit the voltage waveforms for L4
for 1 complete second. Represent the Real Power flows for the entire system after 1 second in
tabular form.
5. The primary winding of T1 is short circuited at 0.2 second. Which relay has to operate? At 0.5
second, L2 experiences a dead short fault on all the three phases. Identify the breakers for primary
and secondary protection. Represent and currents and Real Power flows at 0.4 seconds and at 0.8
seconds in tabular form. Identify the loads that experience the Black Out situation after three
phase fault at L2. Submit the waveforms for currents entering and leaving Bus 2 and Bus 4 for 1
complete second.
