    impedance is required for this analysis because the power system phases remain

    balanced during these simulated conditions. Lumped series and shunt impedances

    are typically included for this analysis because these conditions occur at or nearfull system voltage.

    2.3. Relay setting/data

    Transmission line impedances are commonly used to set phase and ground

    distance relay reach settings and maximum torque angles. Positive- and zero-sequence lumped series impedances are used to determine settings for

    underreaching and overreaching distance elements associated with step-distance

    protection schemes or directional comparison schemes with communication

    assistance.

    Phase and ground distance element reach settings are generally set in terms of

    positive-sequence line impedance. The operation of the ground distance elements

    are compensated for the different loop impedance for ground fault conditionsby a residual or zero-sequence compensation factor that is computed using

    positive- and zero-sequence line impedance information.

    Lumped series line impedances are also used to set fault location parameters in

    modern microprocessor based relays, although distributed line impedance datamay be used where different line construction, conductor size, and/or shielding

    and to set directional element limits for relays using impedance based directional

    elements.

    Current values from short circuit calculations are used to set overcurrent element

    pickup settings for distance and directional element current supervision elements

    and to set overcurrent element pickup and time delay settings for non-directionalovercurrent relay elements.

    2.4. Relay testing

    Transmission line impedance data is commonly used to develop test data to verify

    relay element performance and to verify proper relay distance element reach

    settings. Test currents and voltages can be developed for various fault types usingsimplified calculation techniques. Test set vendors typically include software or

    calculation techniques with their test set software or documentation to calculate

    relay test quantities based on line impedance data.

    Testing more sophisticated microprocessor based distance relays, source

    impedance data may be needed to create proper test quantities. Strong, moderate,and weak source impedances can be estimated by applying a source-to-line

    impedance ratio, otherwise referred to as SIR. The higher the SIR, the weaker the

    source (larger the source impedance) when compared with the transmission line

    impedance.

    3. System modeling issues

    3.1. Effect of Modeling Assumptions (pi models, short line, long line, etc)(KevinJones)

    3.2. Line Configuration (Norm Fischer)

    There are four parameters that affect the ability of a transmission line to function as partof a power system, these are: Resistance (R), Inductance (L), Capacitance (C) and the

    Conductance (G). Of these only two, the inductance and the capacitance are affected by

    the configuration of the conductors that compose the transmission line.

    Inductance:

    From the theory we know that theself inductance for a conductor that is suspended above

    the earth is given by:

    [3.2.1]

    [3.2.2]

    [3.2.3]

    (De is referred to in literature as conductor beneath the surface of the earth, this

    parameter is dependent on the resistivity of the earth and is adjusted so that

    inductance calculated with is configuration is equal to that measured by testing.

    rx* is defined as the GMR (Geometric Mean Radius) and for a single round

    conductor is equal to the radius of the conductor, however this is not the case for

    bundled conductors)

    The mutual inductance between two conductors suspended above the earth, is determined

    as follows:

    Rev 1.2

    [3.2.4]

    Fig 3.2_1

    From equation [3.2.1] we can see that the configuration of a transmission line does not

    affect the self inductance of a conductor, but from equation [3.2.4] we can see that themutual impedance between two conductors is directly related to the distance between the

    two conductors. The closer the conductors are the higher the mutual inductance between

    them the further away the conductor is the lower the mutual inductance between them.Therefore the configuration of the transmission line directly impacts the inductance of a

    transmission line.

    Since we are mostly concerned with three phase transmission systems let us compute theinductance of the self and mutual inductance for the line shown in Fig 3.2_2:

    Fig 3.2_2 Sketch of a single conductor 3 phase transmission line (without ground wire)

    [3.2.5]

    Equation [3.2.5] is the inductance matrix for a single conductor 3 phase transmission line

    without a ground wire; however the matrix for a single conductor 3 phase transmission

    line with asegmentedground wire would be identical to that given by equation [3.2.5].When dealing with segmented ground wire/s these are not includedin the in the

    inductance matrix since the length of the segmented wire is much shorter than the

    fundamental frequency wave length of the transmission line.

    The question arises how we handle bundled conductors (more than one conductor perphase). There are two methods to deal with this issue; one may compute the GMR of the

    bundle and use the value for GMR of the bundle in Equation [3.2.5] to replace ra*,rb

    * and

  • 7/28/2019 D6 Transmission Model Parameter Draft1-2_9!3!2010

    5/38

    Rev 1.2

    rc*. Following is a method on how to calculate the GMR for some typical bundle

    conductors as shown in Fig 3.2_3.

    Fig.3.2_3 Typical configuration for bundle conductors

    For a double stranded bundled conductor:

    [3.2.6]

    For a triple stranded bundled conductor

    [3.2.7]

    For a Quad triple stranded bundled conductor

    [3.2.8]

    If the bundle contains more than 4 conductors the GMR for this configuration may be

    obtained by following the method shown in equations [3.2.6] to [3.28].

    Another method that can be used when a bundled conductor is present, is to treat eachconductor as an individual conductor and compute the mutual impedance between each

    conductor. For example if you had a double stranded bundled conductor the inductance

    matrix would be as given by equation 3.2.9.

    H/unit_length

    [3.2.9]

    The 6 x 6 matrix of equation [3.2.9] can be reduced to a 3 x 3 matrix by making use of

    the fact that VA VA = 0, VB VB =0 and VC VC = 0 and IA_Total = IA1 + IA2.

    (Appendix A3.2_2 includes an example) .

    How do we treat a line that has a non segmented overhead ground wire?

    You regard the ground wire or wires as an extra conductor and you calculate the mutualimpedance between each phase conductor and the ground conductor. Assume you have a

    transmission configured as shown in Fig3.2_4.

    Fig.3.2_4. Sketch of a single wire 3 phase transmission line with a ground wire.

    The inductance matrix is as follows:

    [3.2.10]

    We then perform reduce this 4 x 4 matrix to a 3 x 3 matrix by eliminating the 4th row and

    column, using a Kron reduction method.

    [3.2.11]Once the matrix has been reduced to a 3 x 3 matrix, the series phase impedance for the

    line can be calculated and from this the sequence series impedances can be calculated.

    (Appendix A3.2_2 includes an example) .

    Capacitance:

    Consider the group of charged lines and their images as shown in Fig.3.2_5.

    Fig.3.2_5

    From theory we know that:

    [3.2.12]

    Where: Vabcn = Voltage vector matrix

    Pabcn = Potential coefficient matrix

    Qabcn = Charge Vector matrix

    The Potential coefficient matrix (P) is computed as follows:

    F/m

    But we know that :

    Therefore

    If we now calculate the potential coefficient matrix for a transmission line with a

    configuration as shown in Fig.3.2_5, but ignoring the ground wire (conductor n) we

    obtain a matrix as follows:

    The diagonal elements ofCabc are called the Maxwells coefficients or the capacitance

    coefficients. The off diagonal elements are known as the electrostatic induction

    coefficients. The off diagonal elements are negative due to the fact that all the elements(coefficients) in the potential coefficient matrix are positive. The Cabc matrix is obtained

    by inverting the Pabc matrix.

    F/m

    Note that irrespective if the ground wire issegmentedornon- segmentedthe ground wireif present is considered in the potential coefficient (capacitance) matrix. The potential

    coefficient matrix when a ground wire/s is present is similar than the inductance matrixand is reduced to a 3 x 3 matrix using Kron reduction similarly than what we did for the

    inductance matrix. (Appendix A3.2_1 shows how the phase and sequence capacitance is

    calculated for a specific line configuration.)

    3.3. Transpositions(Ilia Voloh)

    A transposition is a common technique to eliminate overhead line unbalance caused by

    unsymmetrical placement of transmission line conductors above the ground and to each

    other. Unbalance leads to generation of negative- and zero-sequence voltages andcurrents, which affect performance of many components of power system. This also has a

    big impact on the protective relaying performance.

    To reduce effect on unsymmetrical spacing of conductors to a minimum, the conductors

    are transposed so that each conductor occupies successively same positions as the othertwo conductors in two successive line sections. For three such transposed sections, the

    total voltage drop for each conductor is the same thus eliminating negative- and zero-

    sequence voltages and currents. Double circuit lines create more challenges because ofthe effect of mutual inductance is not entirely eliminated by the transposition.

    Value of unbalance depends on few factors, such as geometry of the conductors and

    ground wires on the tower, spacing, capacitance to ground of conductors etc. Value of

    unbalance is characterized by the unbalance factor, which can vary significantly. Thismay affects results of protective relay study if not accounted for.

    Not every transmission line model can be used for studies involving untransposed lines.

    For example, lumped parameters or PI segments models are not appropriate for protective

    relaying studies. Modeling involving representation of transmission lines in physicalparameters are likely to be most accurate followed by distributed parameters or travelling

    wave models.

    3.4. Effects of Non-Homogeneous lines(George Bartok)

    For typical transmission lines, the impedance is not a linear function of distance. All

    transmission lines have, to varying degrees, some non-homogeneity; that is, theimpedance per unit length is not constant over the length of the line. This can be a source

    of error in distance relay and fault location applications.

    Sources of non-homogeneity in overhead lines include:

    Substation entrance/exit structures may differ from line structures

    Angle structures may be of a different design than tangent structures

    River/highway crossings may have longer spans, wider spacings and larger

    conductors

    Regulatory agencies may require compact or low profile tower designs in

    sensitive areas

    On upgrade or reconductoring projects, it may not be necessary or feasible to

    rebuild the entire line

    Interim or temporary line designs may be used during construction

    Tower spacing and effective conductor sag will differ in hilly or uneven terrain

    Soil characteristics and thus ground resistivity may vary along line length

    Mutual impedances may be present over portions of the line

    Transmission line constants programs generally allow the line impedance to be calculated

    in segments, with the ability to sum the characteristics of individual segments into a

    terminal-to-terminal total. The individual using these programs must exercise judgmentregarding which identifiable line characteristic changes are significant enough to warrant

    calculation as a separate line segment. Typically, single line sections, such as river and

    highway crossings are ignored if they are not a significant fraction of the entire line

    length. In addition, the line sections that transition from one line construction type toanother are ignored, since they cannot be modeled with conventional transmission line

    constants programs because of the variable geometry.

    Distance relays and fault locating algorithms generally assume that the line is

    homogeneous from terminal to terminal. The total line impedance and line length are

    entered as setting parameters. This assumption can introduce error in the distance-to-fault calculation if the line has significant non-homogeneity. Figure XX gives an

    example of a transmission line having three construction types over its length from

    Terminal A to Terminal B. The error in distance is most significant near the transitionpoints between line construction types. An impedance table or graph can be used to

    correct the distance calculation for this error.

    3.4.2. Changes in structure or spacing(George Bartok)3.4.3. Segmented/ Insulated Shield wires(Don Lukach)

    Segmented or insulated shield wires provide a discontinuity in the ground paths, thus

    impact the zero sequence networks. The first question is how this type of shield wire istreated in the zero-sequence line impedance calculation.

    In the EMTP theory book by Hermann Dommel, the ground wires are ignored whencalculating the series impedance matrix but are taken into account for the shunt

    impedance matrix. Thus, for lines that have segmented ground wires, the ground wires

    do not affect the inductance of the line. The reason Dommel gives for this reasoning isthat the ground wires do not carry any significant fundamental current because the wave

    length of the fundamental frequency is much larger than the segmented span. However,

    this not true for transients such as lightning strikes. Some utilities follow the practice of

    not including segmented/insulated shield wires in the series inductance calculations for

    the line constants. Also, a line constants programs contain the option to select segmentedversus continuous shield wires.

    In the paper by Gerez and Balakrishnan entitled,Zero-sequence Impedance of Overhead

    Transmission Lines with Discontinuous Ground Wire, the authors give a method to

    calculate the zero-sequence impedance of a transmission line having ground wires thatare not continuous or are not connected to the station grounds at the end of the line. The

    calculated values are compared with the measured zero-sequence impedance of a line.

    The authors observe that for transmission lines having discontinuous ground wires, the

    actual zero-sequence impedance is different from the zero-sequence impedance of the

    line calculated with the classical methods and considering either no ground wire orcontinuous ground wire. This difference is significant if the ground wire is of ACSR

    conductor. The method given for calculating the zero-sequence impedance of a

    transmission line with discontinuous ground wire gives more accurate results, which areclose to the measured values. While the paper does not directly address

    segmented/insulated ground wires, it does discuss the implications of missing shield

    spans and the affect of not connecting shields to the substation ground grid.

    3.5. Earth Resistivity(Don Lukach)

    A basic understanding of the factors that influence earth resistivity is required for the

    protection engineer to accurately model a given system or line.

    3.5.1. Variation in soilsFirst and foremost is the soil material and its physical conditions, like moisture content

    and temperature. For example, soil with quartz grains have a thermal resistivity of 11C-

    cm/W, water is 165, organic can be from 400 wet to 700 dry, and air is 4000. Thus, it isgenerally concluded that soil with the lowest thermal resistivity has a maximum amount

    of soil grains and water while having a minimum amount of air. Simply stated, the

    resistivity of sandy dry soil such as in Nevada will be very different from Illinois silty-clay-organic soil. Also, river-bottom soil will be vastly different than the soil on top of a

    ridge, or bluff within the same general area.

    Resistivity is measured in ohm-cm. Variations in soil compositions are as vast as theranges of published soil resistivity. Generally, clay-silty-loam soils have much lower

    values (e.g., 4000 ohm-cm average per one data source) than sandy soils (e.g., 94,000

    ohm-cm average per the same data source). The very nature of the soil and the factorsthat determine resistivity equate to a dynamically changing value of resistivity. The

    transmission line in Nevada will have a different local resistivity during a major

    precipitation event, than during a drought.

    To emphasize the affect that resistivity can have on a given line, a 138Kv line was

    arbitrarily chosen within a line constant program. The line was modeled at 100 miles

    long with 10 ohm-meter and 100 ohm-meter resistivity value. All other line parameters

  • 7/28/2019 D6 Transmission Model Parameter Draft1-2_9!3!2010

    13/38

    Rev 1.2

    were held constant. The difference in zero-sequence impedance was over 10%. Note

    that this was utilized for demonstration purposes and additional cases may have different

    results.

    The important point to the system protection engineer is that the physical characteristics

    of a transmission line must be known to accurately model it, resistivity notwithstanding.If certain factors are not addressed the model will be inaccurate, perhaps at the most

    inopportune time. For example, the season of the year, like when the soil is saturated, or

    if a company that encompasses different geological areas uses a standard resistivityvalue, the model accuracy can be compromised.

    A good check against the system model, including resistivity, are right-of-way

    measurements and fault data review. Both topics are also covered in this report.

    3.5.2. Other conducting paths to ground

    I think this should be in another sectionnot really part of earth resistivity

    Line constant programs typically contain configurations that share multiple conductors onthe same pole structure and the same right-of-way. What may not be addressed are other

    conductors that follow the same path. Examples include railroad track, railroad

    communication and control lines, pipelines, etc. These other conductors can be buried orbe on pole structures that run parallel to the power lines. The difficulty is in modeling

    these other conductors.

    While railroad control lines look like an adjacent line, obtaining grounding information

    or pole structure characteristics is not readily available. For the other structures the

    question becomes how to approximate their properties within the confines of the line

    constant programs. Simply put, what approximates a railroad track with a certain rail andcommunication systems or the pipeline?

    Regardless of the methods used for approximating the zero sequence networks forsituations that have these other conductors, the fault analysis studies of such areas would

    be beneficial to revise the model.

    3.6. Mutual effects (Mutual coupling)

    In this part we concentrate on the mutual coupling between transmission lines, similarly

    as the different phases of a transmission line influence each others volt drop, the phases

    http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/m3/index.htmlhttp://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/m3/index.html

    Rev 1.2

    of a line sharing the same right of way or the same tower will also influence the voltage

    drop of the phase.

    Assume a transmission system as shown in Fig 3.6_1 where two transmission lines are a

    distance Dd from each other.

    Fig 3.6_1 simple sketch showing conductors of a two transmission line system

    The mutual coupling between all the conductors and the A-phase of circuit 1 are shown

    in Fig 3.6_2

    Section 3.2, line configuration, discusses how to compute the mutual impedance between

    two conductors from a common circuit. To calculate the mutual impedance between twoconductors from two different circuits is done in exactly the same manner. Therefore

    equation 3.2.4 is still applicable.

    If we now consider the voltage drop for a section of circuit 1, A-phase we get the

    following relationship [3.6.1]

    [3.6.1]

    Where:

    ZAA = Self impedance of the conductor

    ZAB = Mutual impedance between conductor A and B (circuit 1)ZAC = Mutual impedance between conductor A and C (circuit 1)

    ZAa = Mutual impedance between conductor A (circuit 1) and

    conductor a (circuit 2)

  • 7/28/2019 D6 Transmission Model Parameter Draft1-2_9!3!2010

    15/38

    Rev 1.2

    ZAb = Mutual impedance between conductor A (circuit 1) and

    conductor b (circuit 2)

    ZAc = Mutual impedance between conductor A (circuit 1) andconductor c (circuit 2)

    For simplicity let us assume that mutual impedance between the phases of circuit 1 are

    equal ( ZAB = ZAB = ZM ) and lets also assume that the distance Dd is large enough thatthe mutual impedance between the conductors of circuit two are also approximately equal

    (ZAa ZAb ZAc Zmp). , using these assumptions we can now rewrite equation 3.6_1 as

    follows:

    [3.6_2]

    If we now analyze the second half of equation [3.6_2] we will ready see that for allpositive and negative sequence currents that flow in circuit 2 the effective mutual

    coupling is zero since , however this is not true if the ciruit2 contains

    zero sequence current, so we can say that the mutual coupling between

    circuits 1 and 2 is mainly due only due to zero sequence current. We can say that Zmp

    is the zero sequence mutual coupling between circuit 1 and 2, and can be computed by

    taking the average mutual impedance between circuit 1 and 2 [3.6.3].

    [3.6_3]

    In reality there is some mutual coupling between the circuits due to positive and negative

    sequence current but in general these are less than 5% and for all practical purposes can

    be ignored. This small coupling is due to the mutual impedances between the conductorsin circuit 1 and circuit 2 not being exactly equal to one another.

    than distance between the phases. These single circuit lines look like double circuit lines.

    Figure 3.9.1 Typical six wire circuit

    Where bundled conductors can be considered continuously connected, the two wires per phase on

    six wire lines may only be connected at the beginning and ending points, and possibly, but not

    necessarily at tap points. If the two wires per phase are not connected at tap points, then the only

    way to model six wire lines is as two separate circuits. If, however, the two wires per phase are

    connected at every tap point, then the six wires can be reasonably represented with one set of

    impedances.

    Validation of transmission circuit parameters can be validated from direct measurementsfrom load unbalances and short circuit tests. The load unbalance technique requiressynchronized measurements from each line terminal. Even with synchronized

    measurements, the zero sequence impedance validation can be challenging because

    transmission circuits experience low load unbalance. Staging of short circuit tests areexpensive and are not liked due to undesirable stress and on the equipment. Under certain

    configurations, relay records from actual short circuits on transmission circuit can be

    helpful in validating its parameters.

    A frequency injection signal injection is an alternative method to stage short circuit faults

    on live circuits. However, this method requires that the circuit be taken out-of-service forthe test and isolated from sources at both ends. Figure X.1 shows experimental step-up.

    It consists of single generator, amplifier and dynamic signal analyser. Typically, signal

    generator and analyser functions are available in a single piece of equipment. Tomeasure series parameters of line, all three three-phases of the receiving terminal are

    short to the ground as in shown in Figure X.1. Measurements of shunt parameters,

    mainly for the cable circuits, require terminal left open circuited.

    Single generator injects low voltage signal via amplified into the isolated circuit. The

    signal can be white noise or sweep from low frequency about 10 Hz to 200 Hz in smallsteps. The applied voltage and current measured using Pearson coil CT are applied to

    dynamic signal analyser. Dynamic Signal analyser performs spectrum analysis on the

    measured signals. It then uses auto (voltage) and cross (voltage and current) correlations

    to determine impedance of the transmission circuit over the frequency range using the

    A

    Zaa(f) series self impedance of Phase A of transmission circuit

    These measurements averaged over several measurements to improve the accuracy of

    measurements.

    The impedance measurement obtained using the set-up in Figure X.1 provides self

    impedance of Phase A. The mutual impedance between Phase A and B be measuredrepeating the experiment except Phase B voltage from the transmission circuit applied

    is signal analyser while signal generator injected the voltage into Phase A as follows:

    Zab(f) = Vb(f)*ConjVb(f)/Ia(f)*ConjVb(f)

    Where:

    Vb(f) voltage phasor of frequency f extracted from voltage measured on Phase Awhile signal injected on Phase A

    I(f) current phasor of frequency f extracted from measured current into PhaseA

    Zab(f) series mutual impedance between Phases A and B

    These two measurements are sufficient to calculate ositive and zero sequence

    impedances. Similar measurements on each phase can be averaged to obtain better

    estimates of self and mutual impedances by averaging:

    Zs(f) = (Zaa(f) + Zbb(f) + Zcc(f))/3

    Zm(f) = (Zab(f) + Zac(f) + Zba(f) + Zbc(f) +Zca(f) + Zcb(f))/6

    Average values of self and mutual impedance values can positive and zero sequence

    impedances of a symmetrical or transposed line as:

    Z1(f) = Zs(f) Zm(f)

    Zo(f) = Zs(f) + 2 Zm(f)

    In case of un-transposed or non-symmetrical lines, the measurement provide full 3x3matrix of line impedances, which can be converted into sequence component matrix

    using symmetrical component transformations. In case of long lines and cable, shunt

    impedance can also be obtained with similar tests but keeping receiving terminal opencircuited instead of short circuited.

    Figure 2.x and 3x shows magnitude and phase angle of series self and mutual impedancesmeasured for a short cable circuit. Since applied is low-voltage signal, measurements

    near 60 Hz are corrupted due stray signal from adjacent equipment. These corrupted

    estimates are rejected. Curve fitting or interpolation technique from estimates at non-60

    Hz frequencies are then used to determine impedance parameters at 60-Hz.

    [A3.2.2]

    But we now that the current in conductor A is 180 out of phase with the current in

    conductor B , the flux linkages produced by the two currents in is in the same direction

    and thus the resulting flux for the two conductors can be obtained by simply adding theindividual mmfs together.

    Therefore the inductance for the two wire circuit cans be written as follows:

    Equations [3.2.1] and [3.2.2] are referred to the inductance per conductor and that ofEquation [3.2.3] the inductance per loop.

    The following worked examples on how to calculate the series and shunt components for

    a transmission line are taken form Paul Anderson book Analysis of Faulted Powersystems.
