INTRODUCTION TRANSMISSION SYSTEM FAULT LOCATION TRAVELLING WAVE FAULT THEORY FAULT LOCATION USING GPS ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES CONCLUSION
A new technique for the protection of transmission systems. Relays are installed at each bus bar in a transmission network.
Relay contains a fault detection system together with a GPS communication unit
GPS determine the location of the fault.
TRANSMISSION SYSTEM
FAULTS
A fault is any abnormal flow of electric current
LOCATION OF FAULT
HELPS TO.
Fault location is determined by accurately time tagging the arrival of the travelling wave at each end of the line and comparing the time difference to the total propagation time. Precisely synchronized clocks are the key element in the implementation of this fault location technique. The propagation velocity of the traveling wave is roughly 300 meters per microsecond which in turn requires the clocks to be synchronized with respect to each other by less than one microsecond.
e i L (1) x t i e C (2) x t
Where L and C are the inductance and capacitance of the line per unit length.
x = {l c( a b )}/2
X is the distance to the fault from a substation,a and b represent the travel time from the fault to the discontinuity, l is the length of the line, c is the wave velocity
Tp is the total wave propagation time between adjacent stations when there is no fault, T1 is the time at which the electricity transmitted from the station 1, T2 is the time at which the electricity received by the station 2, T=T2-T1 ,Vp is the velocity of propagation
WHAT IS GPS?
Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellitebased navigation system made up of a network of 24 satellites placed into orbit. 2D & 3D positioning is possible
Accurate 3-D location require four satellites. GPS satellites transmit two low power radio signals.
OPERATION OF THE FAULT LOCATION SYSTEM (FLS) USING GPS A fault locator remote is coupled to each end of line CPT. FL is synchronized to the common timing standard of UTC from GPS. Fault resulting produces travelling waves(transients). The FL remote time tag the transient arrival times.
CONTD
By knowing the line length L and the time-of arrival difference (tb - ta ) distance X can be calculated from the FL equation:
X=[L-C( tb - ta )]/2 ta & tb are end A and end B arrival time c-velocity of light
ADVANTAGES
Protection of transmission line using GPS is extremely accurate. Economical. Fast response.
Reliability & availability
DISADVANTAGES
GPS SIGNAL ERRORS o Ionosphere and troposphere delays. o Receiver clock errors.
CONCLUSION
Uses a dedicated fault detector to extract transient signal and GPS system to time tag these signals. Travelling time of the transient signal from the point of fault to the adjacent substation is used to determine the fault position. Proposed technique is able to offer a high accuracy in fault location.
Unlike traditional protection schemes , this technique offers a new concept in network protection.
