This paper reviews the overall requirements for comprehensive windfarm protection. It also focuses on the problem of feeder ground faults and presents a solution making use of peer-to-peer messaging via the IEC 61850 protocol.
This paper looks at the specific application of PMUs for disturbance recording, with emphasis on wide area cross-triggering of recording PMUs during events.
This paper discusses UPS technology and architecture, including systems that can provide power until the computer network has been shut down.
The key challenge to transmission line protection lies in reliably detecting and isolating faults. This paper highlights advantages of some typical applications of GE Vernova's Multilin line of protection relays.
This paper shows how CT saturation likely causes problems for associated relays and provides pratical application guidelines regarding settings and scheme logic.
This paper highlights the use of the actual inrush characteristic of the protected transformer to determine optimum setpoints for the differential relay. This data should be analyzed to ensure no loss of security occurs.
This paper presents tieline controls, an important Microgrid control feature, enabling the coordinated response of several distributed energy resources, such as generation, energy storage, or controllable loads.
This paper highlights how traditional distribution management evolved to include advanced smart grid applications and integrated technologies driving incremental benefits in capital expenditures, operation and maintenance expenses, customer benefits.
This paper discusses implementation issues related to integration of synchrophasor measurements and PMU functionalities on microprocessor-based relay platforms.
