 SC B5: PS3, Q 8a How to optimize settings?

What methodologies are used to optimize settings for

series compensated line application?

REAL TIME SIMULATIONS!

ABB - 2
 Why real time simulations?

Real time simulations are very useful tool for the setting verification
process
Series compensated networks are normally very complicated
Analytical method more time consuming
Difficult to cover all combinations of fault conditions and the interactions
between IED`s and power system when using analytical methods
Difficult to foresee all the dynamic behavior when doing the setting
calculations
Voltage inversion, might cause directionality problem
Sub-synchronous oscillations, might cause overreach
Verifying the total protection scheme
Very good learning process
