Abstract
This paper describes modeling and testing of a digital distance relay for transmission line protection using MATLAB/SIMULINK. ATP is used for detailed modeling of a power system network and fault simulation. SIMULINK is used to implement multi-resolution morphological gradient (MMG) relaying algorithm. MMG modeling is an interactive simulation environment for relaying algorithm design and evaluation. The basic principles of MMG relaying algorithm and some related algorithms such as tripping and fault location scheme are also described in this paper. Test results show that MMG relaying algorithm can detect and define fault location accurately within 1 milli-second. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
