Abstract:
Teleprotection Schemes were developed aiming to improve the performance of transmission line protection, which is achieved through an appropriate choice of them. Through real-time digital simulation, this dissertation brings a practical analysis and a comprehensive view of the main aspects related to the commonly applied Teleprotection Schemes, highlighting the minimum requirements established by the Brazilian National System Operator (ONS) and providing an aid in the selection of the scheme to be used. Due to the fact that most of transmission lines of the National Interconnected System are parallel circuits, this thesis considers not only an analysis of system with a single circuit line, but also a real double line circuit system. In addition, this work highlights the effect of zero sequence mutual coupling in the impedance measurement of the relays’ distance function and, consequently, the effect in Teleprotection Schemes. The tests involve protection relays from two renowned manufacturers and takes into consideration two teleprotection structures: the conventional one and the structure based on communication mechanisms exposed in IEC 61850-90-1 Standrad, providing a survey of benefits obtained from this replacement.
