If the CT saturates in an external fault, the bus-bar differential protection may operate incorrectly. Most bus-bar differential relays use low-impedance criterion to detect CT saturation to avoid false tripping for a nearby external fault. It is very important research direction for accurately detecting CT saturation in bus-bar differential protection. Analyzing CT saturation detection methods of the current waveform, the variety of differential current, harmonic ratio, and so on, these methods are not best solutions for serious CT saturation.

The proposed algorithm minimizes the security index iteratively. The security index indicates the overload level of transmission lines. The sensitivity indicating the change of the index due to the changes in the UPFC real power output is calculated. In each iteration, according to this sensitivity, the proposed algorithm finds a new UPFC operating point to reduce the index or increase the security margin. Also two other indices related to system security level are examined after the UPFCs operating points determination. The proposed algorithm is verified by IEEE 14 bus network. The results show that the power flow congestion can be relieved and the security margin increased both in overloaded or faulted condition by applying the suggested operating algorithm to UPFCs","PeriodicalId":191301,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE Power India Conference","volume":"500 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133826495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
