Abstract

Variability of the available short-circuit power also implies variation of the fault level, which can potentially cause several protection problems in the electric networks. In this study, a novel protection method that is insensitive to the fault level changes caused by variable short-circuit power is presented. It relies on utilisation of symmetrical components of the short-circuit currents and on communication between the protection relays. The proposed method addresses the single phase to ground (SPG) faults occurring in directly grounded distribution networks, with focus on closed-loop medium voltage (MV) feeders. Case studies are presented, which demonstrate that the proposed protection scheme is capable of effectively detecting the SPG faults in closed-loop feeders with variable short-circuit power.
