1998 • 330KV • Double Circuit • 225km SP AusNet Network
No 1 line No 2 line Project Objectives DDTS Compensation: 50 % Transfer Capability restored to 1500 MW, 36% improvement Total project cost $A13.5 M Completion period 14 months SMTS

Distance Relay Problems • Distorted Distance Measurement • Incorrect Directionality (Voltage & Current inversions) • Transient over- and under-reach ( Sub- sychronous Transient Oscillations) • Nonlinear & solid by-passing of capacitors initiate transient changes of : • Voltage magnitude and polarity • Impedance measured

First cycle Second cycle Third cycle Z Internal Fault Forward (operating) reach jX dynamic static R Reverse (blocking) SMTS, No 1 (Faulty) Line Relay, Fault on No 1 line, MOV, no Gap
First cycle Second cycle Third cycle External Fault Forward (operating) reach jX Z dynamic static R Reverse (blocking) SMTS, No 2 (Healthy) Line Relay, Fault on No 1 line, MOV, no gap
Relay Selection • 2 x Distance + existing Power Line Carrier • reliable • Under/over reach • transmission time 30ms • 1 x Current Diff + new μWave Radio • many faults faster than distance schemes • signal fading

Summary • Transient fault studies essential for SC Lines • Difficulty to gather data. • Automatic Test Equipment extremely useful design tool • Derived from paper:“Fault simulation studies for protection of series compensated lines” • Adam Klebanowski, GPU PowerNet, Victoria, Australia • Asia Pacific Regional ProTest (DOBLE) User Group Meeting, Melbourne, Australia, 1999 • adam.klebanowski@sp-ausnet.com.au
