Basic definitions:

Power Swing: A variation in three phase power flow which occurs when the generator rotor angles are advancing or retarding relative to each other in response to changes in load magnitude and direction, line switching, loss of generation, faults, and other system disturbances.

Pole Slip: A condition whereby a generator, or group of generators, terminal voltage angles (or phases) go past 180 degrees with respect to the rest of the connected power system.

Stable Power Swing: A power swing is considered stable if the generators do not slip poles and the system reaches a new state of equilibrium, i.e. an acceptable operating condition.

Unstable Power Swing: A power swing that will result in a generator or group of generators experiencing pole slipping for which some corrective action must be taken.



Power swing due to;Power system faults (System more affected on 3-ph fault, so power gain is very less)Sudden changes to electrical power due to rejection of load or generatorsThese type of disturbances causes oscillation in machine rotor angles (Load Angle = 900 or 1200) & can result in sever power flow swings. Power swings are variations in power flow that occur when the internal voltages of generators at different network locations of the power system slip relative to each other.

Power swing detection methods:Conventional “Rate of Change of Impedance” (Dz/Dt) Methods:Concentric characteristic schemes.Continuous Impedance calculation schemes.Blinder Schemes:1) Single Blinder2) Double Blinder



Conventional PSB detection methods:It measures the Positive sequence impedanceDuring a system swing, the measured impedance moves slowly on the impedance plane, and the rate of impedance change is determined by the slip frequencyo f a n e q u i v a l e n t t w o - s o u r c e s y s t e mTravel Time (Delta-t) from one point to next point is to differentiate between fault & swing. Travel time is more than set value then, distance relay sense as swing. Travel time less than set value then, it sense as fault



Conventional PSB detection methods:Concentric circle characteristic schemes:It is simplest method to detect “rate of change of impedance”Two impedance zones. Inner zone & outer zoneFigure-3 shows, Relay indicates PSB when transition time of impedance from outer zone to inner zone is more than set value (impedance locus move slowly).PSB: Blocks the zones when swing is stable (Figure:-3)OST: Trip zones when swing is un stable (Figure-4)Major drawback of this characteristic is load encroachment.

Continuous Impedance calculation for PSB detection methods:

Scheme determine Power swing condition based on a continuous impedance calculation. i.e for each 2ms or 5ms step an impedance calculation is performed & compared with the impedance calculation of previous 2ms or 5ms.This step value is depend on sampling freq. rate.The next impedance that should be calculated 2ms or 5ms later is predicted based on impedance difference of the previous measured impedances.Not required any delta impedance settingsRequire delta time settingsDrawback is; if prediction is correct, then only distance prot. consider as a traveling impedance & a power swing condition is detected. For security reason additional predictive calculation is required

Relay measures the rate of change of Positive sequence Apparent Power:

Delta-SPOS = (SPOS2 – SPOS1) / (SPOS2)

Let,SPOS1 = Positive sequence Apparent Power at time (t1)SPOS2 = Positive sequence Apparent Power at time (t1 + 40 ms)

System Load angle is more than set value with calculated slip freq., relay will detect pole slip (Power swing)Relay calculating Freq slip based on T-Slip time (say 55 ms)Tripping Angle setting should be based on critical angle of machineWithout system study, recommended angle setting is 120o

Blinder Schemes: Single BlinderBlinder schemes:Single Blinder (one pair) scheme (Figure:-17):One sets of blinders: Resistive reach inner (RRI) & Resistive reach outer (RRO)It can be used to restrict tripping of the distance relay for loads outside of the blinders.



DR/DT schemes:Single Blinder scheme (Figure:-17):One sets of blinders: It can be used to restrict tripping of the distance relay for loads outside of the blinders.If travel time is more than set time & it crosses blinder-1, a power swing situation is detected further it crosses blinder-2 then it gives a tripping. Scheme is more suitable for out of step protection for generators.Correct settings of blinder-2 & RRR are very difficult to set, again it’s require high skilled expert to do grid analysis & effect on machines.

Blinder Schemes: Single Blinder



DR/DT scheme:How to set timer?T = {(Critical load angle – Rotor angle)*Fn}/{(360)*(slip frequency)}

Where;Critical load angle = 150 degreeRotor angle = 90 degreeFn = 50Hzslip freq. = 4Hz

T = {(150 – 90)*(50)} / {(360)*(4)}= 2.0833 Cycles

T = 2.0833 * 20 = 41.66ms
