Application Guidelines for Power Swing Detection on Transmission Systems

Authors:

Abstract
Power swing detection on transmission systems is becoming more critical. Traditionally, setting relays for power swing blocking (PSB) or power swing tripping applications has been very complex and time consuming. In many cases, the settings are not correct, which is discovered when the relay operates incorrectly. This paper provides the reader with practical setting and application guidelines for traditional impedance-based PSB schemes. It shows how to set a PSB scheme without stability studies. Highlighted are some problem areas when setting and applying power swing detection elements. Application of these setting guidelines will be demonstrated using a power system modeled on a real-time digital simulator
