Performance Analysis And Threshold Quantization Of Transformer Differential Protection Under Sampled Value Packets Loss/Delay

The performance of the process network in the smart substation is particularly important for relaying functions implementation, and the transmission quality of sampled value packets is becoming the key constraint on protections because they carry practical parameters of the power system without repeated transmission. By means of phasor form and simulation, the model is built to analyze the operating characteristics of differential protection during the normal condition, external faults, and internal faults of the transformer, while packet loss/delay occurring at a different time and using different corrective measures. Considering the change of power equipment capacity, external fault types, starting points on wave and sampling frequency, the security boundaries are constructed for consecutive loss of sampled value packets. In addition, two indices are put forward to weigh the tolerance thresholds. Finally, the degree of dependability of differential protection due to the packet loss is further analyzed under the transformer internal faults.
