Abstract

In this paper, quadrilateral distance relay characteristic is implemented for the protection of 400 kV
transmission line network using PSCAD. In Indian 400 kV transmission lines, twin-moose conductors are generally used.
Hence, in this paper, transmission line parameters are used for simulating different configurations of power system
network. To check the performance of quadrilateral characteristic, ground faults and phase faults are done considering
various effects, such as variation of fault resistance, power transfer angle, system loading etc. FFT algorithm is used to
measure phasor quantities to obtain apparent impedance. Distance relays having quadrilateral characteristics are most
suitable for EHV transmission lines for different types of faults. In this paper, an actual network of 400 kV transmission
system of Gujarat state has been simulated. Simulation of existing system helps the engineering students and protection
engineers to know the behavior of actual distance protection scheme in the existing power system network.
