An Interphase Distance Relaying Algorithm for Series-Compensated Transmission Lines

A new interphase distance relaying algorithm for series-compensated transmission lines is proposed in this paper. The fault impedance can be correctively calculated using the proposed algorithm without requirement of the parameters of series capacitor device. The series capacitor can be simplified as a linearized impedance during the fault period, but its parameters can be used as variables in fault loop equations. The real-time digital simulator tests show that the proposed algorithm can obtain more accurate results than other traditional distance relaying algorithms for series-compensated transmission lines.
