حفاظت دیفرانسیل قدرت ترانسفورماتور با استفاده از نسبت جریان و ولتاژ

The main challenge in transformer protection is to find a fast and efficient differential relay algorithm that isolates the transformer from the system causing least damage. Algorithm should also avoid mal-operation while differentiating between the operating conditions. This paper presents an improved differential protection scheme for power transformer. The proposed scheme is based on the ratio of the absolute difference and absolute sum of the primary and secondary currents of each phase, supplemented by the ratio of the absolute difference and absolute sum of the primary and secondary terminal voltages of each phase. The proposed algorithm aims at avoiding mal-operation, possible with the conventional three-phase transformers differential protection scheme due to transient phenomena, including the magnetic inrush current, simultaneous inrush with internal fault, and faults with current transformer saturation. Investigation of the proposed differential protection scheme using both current and voltage ratios shows that it can provide fast, accurate, secure and dependable relay for power transformers.
