Relay Protection Current Protection of the Power Grid
This presentation reviews the established principles and the advanced aspects of the selection and application of protective relays in the overall protection system, multifunctional numerical devices application for power distribution and industrial systems, and addresses. These clean energy sources, connected through inverters and flexible transmission systems, are transforming traditional grids based on synchronous generators into more flexibl cant challenges to system stability. Selectivity is a mandatory requirement for all protection, but the importance of it depends on the application. For example, unselective protection operation during a medium voltage network fault will cause an outage for an unnecessarily large number of consumers. Protective relays and devices have been developed over 100 years ago to provide "last line" of defense for the electrical systems.
