Abstract

Abstract:
In this paper, investigations are carried out to explore the impact of a midpoint SVC on
the performance of the generator distance phase backup protection (function 21). The
results of these investigations have shown that the midpoint SVC has an adverse effect
on such protection. Such an impact varies according to the fault type, the fault location,
and the generator loading. The dynamic simulations of a test benchmark have been
conducted using the PSCAD/EMTDC software.
