Relay protection is the discipline of designing schemes that detect faults, coordinate relays, and isolate equipment without outages. Protective relays and devices have been developed over 100 years ago to provide "lastline"of defense for the electrical systems. They are intended to quickly identify a fault and isolate it so the balance of the system continue to run under normal conditions.

A time delay relay controls the timing of electrical circuits by delaying switching operations. While conventional relays provide immediate switching, many processes require a controlled delay —for example, starting motors in sequence, delaying lights, or keeping equipment running briefly after power is removed. The normal relay changes its contacts instantly on energization and de-energization of the relay coil. Here is a simple chart to compare them: Think about needing a motor to start ten seconds after you press a button.

On average, mechanical relays typically last between 1 to 5 years due to their moving parts, which are prone to wear and tear. Typically, the electrical life expectancy of general-purpose and power relays is rated at a minimum of 100,000 operations. Network operators need to have a long term maintenance and replacement strategy for protection relays. 10 years from the start of the Classic stage, although exceptions to this may occur if components or technologies needed are no longer available to ABB.

Abstract−To avoid undesirable disconnection of healthy wind generators (WGs) or a wind power plant, a WG protection relay should discriminate among faults, so that it can operate instantaneously for WG, connected feeder or connection bus faults, it can operate after a. For those not familiar with the different elements that form a WEP, commonly known as a Wind Farm, this report introduces a description of the different elements comprising a wind farm and how their unique characteristics may be considered to provide a proper design. First, the amplitude and attenuation characteristics of short circuit current in different types of wind turbines are analyzed, as well as the contributing factors to short-circuit current in wind farms. Protection of Wind Electric Plants is a report covering engineering considerations for the design of protection systems and present relay protection and coordination practices at wind electric plants. Abstract—A wind electric plant (WEP) is made of many wind turbine generators spread over a large area and includes many subsystems that need to be protected.
