Abstract

The importance of studying transient single-phased faults due to the high statistics of this phenomenon in the power transmission system requires that special attention be paid to the operation of the automatic reclosing relay. If an adaptive automatic reclosing relay is used instead of the conventional delay type, the reliability of the power system will be improved. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to determine the exact time of the secondary arc shutdown in order to determine the dead time of the reclosing relay. There are various indicators such as changes in the waveform of the faulty phase voltage, changes in the amplitude of odd harmonics of the voltage wave, THD% index, and changes in the voltage angle of the faulty phase to determine the extinguishing time of the secondary arc. The proposed algorithm in this article uses a hybrid method and a simultaneous measurement of indicators in order to ensure the shutdown of the secondary arc to issue the reclosing command by the relay. To test and validate the proposed method, one of 400 kV transmission lines is considered as a power system under study and simulated through EMTP-RV software. The obtained results imply that the secondary arc extinguishing time, using the proposed method, is much less than the constant dead time included in the conventional delay type recloser protection settings.
