Power Swings and Distance Relaying In this lecture, we will introduce the concept of power swings. It will be shown that the post fault power swings may encroach the relay characteristics. This can lead to nuisance tripping of distance relays which can sacrifice the system security. Analysis of Two Area System Power swings refer to oscillation in active and reactive power flows on a transmission line consequent to a large disturbance like a fault. The oscillation in the apparent power and bus voltages is seen by the relay as an impedance swing on the R – X plane. If the impedance trajectory enters a relay zone and stays there for sufficiently long time, then the relay will issue a trip decision on power swing. Tripping on power swings is not desirable. We now investigate this phenomenon and then discuss remedial measures. Let us consider a simple two machines system connected by a transmission line of impedance ZL as shown in Figure 23.1(a) ES and ER are the generator voltages at two ends and we assume that the system is purely reactive. The voltage ES leads ER by an angle so that power flows from A to B during steady state. The relay under consideration is located at bus A end. The power angle curve is shown in Figure 23.1(b). The system is operating at initial steady operating point A with P mo as output power and 0 as initial rotor angle. From the power angle curve, initial rotor angle, P 0 sin 1 m0 --------------------------------------(1) Pmax A ES ZS Relay Irelay B ZL (a) Single line diagram (b) Power Angle curve Figure 2.1 Simple two machine system ZR ER0 Now, suppose, a self clearing transient three phase short circuit fault occurs on the line. During the fault, the electrical output power Pe drops to zero. The resulting rotor acceleration advances rotor angle to 1 . After a time interval tcr , corresponding to angle 1 , the fault is cleared and the operating point jumps back to the sinusoidal curve. Rotor angle correspond to this instant is 1. As per equal area criteria, the rotor will swings up to maximum rotor angle max , satisfying the following condition, Accelerating Area (A1) = Decelerating Area (A2) Rotor angle 1corresponding to fault clearing time tcr can be computed by swing equation, 2 H d 2 Pmo Pe Pa ----------------------------(2) s dt 2 where H is the equivalent rotor angle inertia.

Figure 23.2 Plots of max verses Pmo, for different values of tcr B) Determination of power swing locus A distance relay may classify power swing as a phase fault if impedance trajectory enters the operating characteristic of the relay. We will now derive the apparent impedance seen by the relay R on R-X plane. Again consider simple two machine system connected by a transmission line of impedance ZL as shown in Figure 23.1(a), where machine B is treated as reference.

Assuming for simplicity, both the voltages as equal to 1pu, i.e. ER k=1, 1 Z seen (relay ) Z S Z T 1 cos j sin Z S ZT 2 sin (sin ZT 1 Z S 2 2 j sin cos sin 2 2 2 j cos ) 2 2 2 ZT Z S (1 j cot ) -------------------------(15) 2 2 Z Z Z S T j T cot 2 2 2 a cons tan t offset perpendicular line segment ZT 2 There is a geometrical interpretation of above equation. The vector component Z Z Z S T in equation (15) is a constant in R – X plane. The component j T cot is 2 2 2 Z a straight line, perpendicular to line segment T . Thus the trajectory of the impedance 2 measured by relay during the power swing is a straight line as shown in fig 23.3. The angle subtended by a point in the locus on S and R end points is angle . For simplicity, angle of Z S , Z R and Z L are considered identical. It intersect the line AB at mid point, when 180 . The corresponding point of intersection of swing impedance trajectory to the impedance line is known as electrical center of the swing. (Fig 23.4(a)). The angle, between two sources can be mapped graphically as the angle subtended by source points E S and E R on the swing trajectory. At the electrical center, angle between two sources is 180 . The existence of electrical center is an indication of system instability, the two generators now being out of step. From equation (15) at 180 , cot 0, Z seen Z S If the power swing is stable, i.e. if the post fault system is stable, then max will be less than 180 . In such event, the power swing retraces its path at max . ES k 1 , then the power swing locus on the R – X is an arc of the circle. (See fig ER 22.4(b)) It can be easily shown that ES k (cos sin ) k[(k cos ) j sin ] ---------------(16) E S E R k (cos j sin ) 1 (k cos ) 2 sin 2 Then, k (k cos ) j sin Z seen Z S ZT (k cos ) 2 sin 2 If Figure 23.4 Impedance Trajectories at relay point during power swing It is also clear from Fig 23.4 (b), that the location of the electrical center is dependent E upon the S ratio. Appearance o f electrical center on a transmission line is a transient ER phenomenon. The voltage profile across the transmission at the point of occurrence of electrical center is shown in fig 23.5. At the electrical center, the voltage is exactly zero. This means that relays at both the ends of line perceive it as a bolted three phase fault and immediately trip the line. Thus, we can conclude that existence of electrical center indicates (1) system instability (2) possibility of nuisance tripping of distance relay. Now consider a double-end-feed transmission line with three stepped distance protection scheme having Z1, Z2 and Z3 protection zones as shown in Figure 23.6. The mho relays are used and characteristics are plotted on R-X plane as shown in Figure 23.7. Swing impedance trajectory is also overlapped on relay characteristics for a simple case of equal end voltages (i.e. k = 1) and it is perpendicular to line AB.

Recalling δmax is the maximum rotor angle for stable power swing, following inferences can be drawn. If max Z 3 , then swing will not enter the relay characteristics. If Z 3 max Z 2 , swing will enter in zone Z 3 . If it stays in zone - Z 3 for larger interval than its TDS, then the relay will trip the line. If Z 2 max Z 1 , swing will enter in both the zones Z 2 and Z 3 . If it stays in zone 2, for larger interval than its TDS, then the relay will trip on Z 2 If max Z 1 , swing will enter in the zones Z1 , Z 2 and Z 3 and operate zone 1 protection will operate without instantaneous delay. Evaluation of power swings on a multimachine system requires usage of transient stability program. Using transient stability program, post fault the relay end node voltage and line currents can be monitored and then the swing trajectory traced on impedance.
