This exercise shows how the PF can be used to calculate fault currents and set an overcurrent relay. The coordination graphs will be shown and tripping calculations will be displayed.

Modelling of the network using PowerFactory

The first setp is to model the network. This is done by creating a new project.

Calculation of Maximum and Minimum Fault Currents

As known from basic power system theory that the maximum fault current occurs at network when we have three phase fault. The figure below shows the result when parameters are defined in the PwerFactory model. The maximum fault current = 875 A as expected.

The minimum fault current = 758 A as expected

The next step is to define the protection relay. Right click below the transformer and select New Devices -----> Relay Model

At Relay Type click Select Global Type http://www.albanah.org/ss/showthread.php?228-Example-of-Over-Current-Protection-Setting-using-DIgSILENT-PowerFactory&s=c053e42d6d74e95bc505cc3af665b46c

This will take you to library as shown in figure below. Choose the following relay as an example in this exercise. http://www.albanah.org/ss/showthread.php?228-Example-of-Over-Current-Protection-Setting-using-DIgSILENT-PowerFactory&s=c053e42d6d74e95bc505cc3af665b46c

Other relays can be used if desirable. Library ----> Relays ----> Relays ----> select then Overcurrent Relays ----> GE Alstom ----> MCGG Series ----> MCGG-22.

Now we need to display the rely using colour. Click on colour map as shown below.

When you click OK, the SLD shows now the line in Red where relay is connected.

We need now to create the graph for the protection devices. Right click on the SLD where the relay is connected as sown below. Then select Create Time-Overcurrent Plot.

The log graph appears as another sheet as shown below.

We can also click right on the graph and add the Transformer Damage Curve as shown.


18/23

30 4 2014


Colour of Transformer Damage Curve can be chosen as shown below.

We can also select the voltage base for displaying the graphs, as shown below.

There is also of course option to display the fault current (875 A) in different colour (blue) and also the tripping time of relay (1.357 s) for that fault current.
