Abstract:

Distance relays are critical in safeguarding the electrical grid by detecting faults and maintaining system stability and reliability. However, maloperations can occur under specific conditions, resulting in inaccurate tripping or failure to trip during fault events. This manuscript focuses on developing an adaptive sequence components-based Mho distance relaying scheme to prevent maloperations of distance relays during load encroachment. The proposed scheme incorporates the analysis of sequence components to enhance the accuracy and reliability of fault detection during load encroachment conditions. The scheme effectively prevents maloperations and ensures proper relay operation by adapting the Mho characteristic based on the sequence components and power factor angles. Extensive simulations and testing are conducted using MATLAB/Simulink to validate the proposed scheme’s performance in the EMTP-RV environment. The results demonstrate improved fault detection capabilities and reduced maloperations compared to conventional distance relaying schemes. The proposed scheme offers a practical solution to enhance the performance and reliability of distance relays in power systems, particularly during load encroachment conditions.
