Abstract
This paper introduces fault type identification, fault section selection, and fault phase selectivity using a Karen Bell Transformation matrix in earthed distribution grids coupled with Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG). Rogowski Coil’s (RC) model is estimated using a system identification toolbox to obtain the precise terminal voltage. This model is calculated and verified using experimental results for the RC’s primary input current and output voltage. Then, the estimated voltage relies on the current signals in the measuring point. The transient slope of the ground and aerial modes voltages is extracted during the fault to classify the fault type, discriminate the fault section and identify the faulted phase in every cycle. Further, earth faults are detected using ground and phase faults using aerial modes. The relative polarity of the front slopes at the terminals of each section created by the fault voltage is extracted to perform faulty section discrimination. The value of aerial modes is used to identify the defective phase selectivity. The overall protection selectivity function’s integration procedure with modified autonomous control is proposed for earthed distribution systems. The Transient Selectivity Function (TSF) was presented in unearthed and compensated grids in the literature. After estimating the RC voltage output at each agent, the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) phasor extraction is done. Different standard fault cases and system conditions are investigated to evaluate the proposed scheme’s behavior. Simulation results are designed using the ATP-EMTP program. The simulation results obtained validate the effectiveness of the scheme proposed in this work.
