Protection Systems
© Siemens Ltd 2012
Protective Relaying is the most important
feature of power system design aimed at
minimising the damage to equipment and
interruption to service in the event of faults. It
is therefore a co-factor among other factors
resorted to improve reliability of power system.
Protective Relaying
Role of Protection
© Siemens Ltd 2012
The Purpose of Protection
But it can: Limit the damage caused by short circuits
While: Protecting people and plant from damage Selectively clearing faults in miliseconds Protecting plant from overload conditions
The protection can not prevent system faults,
Power system must operate in a safe manner at all times.
© Siemens Ltd 2012
Causes and Probability of System Disturbances
© Siemens Ltd 2012
Since protective relaying comes into action at the time of
equipment distress, a certain safeguard is necessary in
the unlikely event of its failure to act at the hour of need.
Hence, two groups of protective schemes are generally
employed -
a) Primary Protection
b) Back-up Protection
Primary Protection is the first line of defense, whereas
back-up relaying takes over the protection of equipment,
should the primary protection fail.
Principles of Relaying
© Siemens Ltd 2012
The Primary Protection has following characteristic
features -
1. It has always a defined zone of operation.
2. It should operate before any back-up protection
could operate, therefore, it should be faster in
operation.
3. It should be able to completely isolate the fault
from all the current feeding sources.
4. It should be stable for all operating conditions.
Primary Protection
© Siemens Ltd 2012
1. Back-up protection should provide sufficient time
for the primary protection to perform its duty.
2. Back-up protection covers a wider zone of
protection. Therefore, there is always a possibility
of large scale disturbance, when back-up relays
operate.
3. Under primary protection failure, several back-up
relays may operate for complete isolation of fault.
Back-up Protection
© Siemens Ltd 2012
Primary protections failure could be due to any of the
following reasons -
1. Current or Potential Transformer failure
2. Loss of Auxiliary Control Voltage
3. Defective Primary Relays
4. Open Circuits in Control & Trip Coil
5. Failure of Breaker
It is therefore logical that back-up relays should not
utilise any of the above items as common with primary
relays.
Reasons of Primary Protection Failure
© Siemens Ltd 2012
Protection Concept
The system is only as strong as the weakest link!
DISTANCE RELAY
Cabling
© Siemens Ltd 2012
Basic Protection Requirements
Reliability dependability (availability)
high dependability = low risk of failure to trip
Security stable for all operating conditions ,
high security = low risk of over-trip
Speed high speed minimizes damage
high speed reduces stability problems
Selectivity trip the minimum number of circuit breakers
Sensitivity notice smallest fault value

Ethernet and IEC 61850
The Initial Situation
Devices communicate with one
another through wiring.
Slow serial communications
protocols are used (master-slave
technique).
Within a switchgear system,
diverse, in part proprietary
communications protocols are
used.
Frequently, a cost-intensive data
conversion is necessary.
Redundancy can only be
achieved by doubling the
communication (two busses).

Ethernet and IEC 61850
The Solution
Currently, an integrated
communication without protocol
conversion is possible up to the
Station Level.
Siemens masters and
implements communication up to
the Network Control Level and
brings this experience into the
continuous standardization.
IEC 61850 uses the standard
Ethernet.
The standard supplies thought-
out migration concepts, even for
heterogeneous systems.
The data model is future-
oriented, independent of
innovation advancements.
