OBJECTVE:
Understand the behavior of Over Current Relay.
Design and make the circuit of Over Current Relay on Matlab Simulink Library.
INTRODUCTION:
In electrical engineering, a protective relay is a device designed to trip a circuit breaker when a
fault is detected. The first protective relays were electromagnetic devices, relying on coils
operating on moving parts to provide detection of abnormal operating conditions such as over-
current, over-voltage, reverse power flow, over- and under- frequency. Microprocessor-based
digital protection relays now emulate the original devices, as well as providing types of
protection and supervision impractical with electromechanical relays. In many cases a single
microprocessor relay provides functions that would take two or more electromechanical devices.
By combining several functions in one case, numerical relays also save capital cost and
maintenance cost over electromechanical relays. However, due to their very long life span, tens
of thousands of these "silent sentinels" are still protecting transmission lines and electrical
apparatus all over the world. An important transmission line or generator unit will have cubicles
dedicated to protection, with many individual electromechanical devices, or one or two
microprocessor relays. Types of Over Current Relay:
So the over current relay which is to be modeled must not consider this over loaded condition as
fault condition. But soon as current exceed this over loading limits, over current relay must trip
the circuit breaker.
Insert a subsystem in the model and name it over current relay. open this over current relay
(subsystem) by default’s it has one input and one output and remove all the input port as shown
in labtask 2.
In given diagram of Over Current Relay RMS values of the current is compared with reference
value then it is faulty condition and the output of relational operator will be logic 1 ,logic inverse
of this output can be fed directly to the control input of the circuit breaker. But there is problem
with this implantation.
In the case of fault RMS values of current will be greater than the reference value and the output
of relational operator will open the circuit breaker, as soon as circuit breaker will open the
current in the system will decrease to 0 and RMS vale of current will become less than the
reference value .again the condition of normal operation .so the output of the relational operator
will change and it will close the circuit breaker again. as fault exist in the system again relay will
give trip signal to the breaker .this opening and close of the circuit breaker will go on that not
required.
To avoid this S-R flip flop is used between breaker and the relational operator. These flip flop
will retain the state .initial condition (state of Q) is set to 0 so (Q) will be 1 see truth table and
further detail about the operation of flip flop in matlab. Help
In following fault condition we will check the output of Over Current Relay.
Using Simpower system tool and implement the three phase system as shown in figure below
