title: Fault test cases for series compensated transmission line with the capacitor at the middle of the line

description: <strong>Description</strong> This data set contains time series data of different simulated fault cases in high voltage series compensated transmission lines. The simulation is done in PSCAD using the Python automation library. The capacitor is located in the middle of the line. The model of the line is given in the attached pdf file. The CT and VT are located at bus S. The distance are counted from bus S. The modelled line is 500 kV and 200 km long. The simulation is run for 1 second with 10 kHz sampling rate. Each file contains 10 data in the following order, Time<br> Voltage phase A<br> Voltage phase B<br> Voltage phase C<br> Current phase A<br> Current phase B<br> Current phase C<br> Voltage across capacitor phase A<br> Voltage across capacitor phase B<br> Voltage across capacitor phase C The variables used to study different test cases are shown below, Fault inception angle (referred to phase A voltage): 0 and 90 degree<br> Source impedance ratio: 0.20 and 0.35<br> Capacitor compensation level: 94 µF(50%), 78 µF(60%), 67 µF(70%)<br> Fault resistance: 0.10, 10, 20 ohm<br> Fault location: 10 km, 30 km, 50, 70 km, 90 km, 95 km, 105 km, 110 km, 130 km, 150 km, 160 km, 170 km, 180 km<br> Fault type: No-fault, AG, BG, CG, ABG, CAG, BCG, ABCG, AB, CA, BC, ABC All these factors lead to 5616 test cases in total. The test cases are organized in four (4) zipped folders each containing 1404 test cases. The PSCAD model file and an example python script that can be used to automate the simulations are also included herewith for anyone interested to replicate the results. The name of the folders contains the information regarding fault inception angle and source impedance ratio for all test cases inside that folder, for example, the folder name <strong>Outputs_0_0.20</strong> can be decoded as, 0: Fault inception angle (phase A)<br> 0.20: Source impedance ration The files names inside the folders include information about the other variables used in generating the test case. For example, the name<strong> test_f_10_0_67_0.01</strong> can be interpreted as, test_f: f for forward fault<br> 10: fault location, 10 km<br> 0: Fault type<br> 67: Compensation level<br> 0.01: Fault resistance Fault types are interpreted as in PSCAD. 0 = No-Fault,<br> 1 = Phase A to Ground<br> 2 = Phase B to Ground<br> 3 = Phase C to Ground<br> 4 = Phase AB to Ground<br> 5 = Phase AC to Ground<br> 6 = Phase BC to Ground<br> 7 = Phase ABC to Ground<br> 8 = Phase AB<br> 9 = Phase AC<br> 10 = Phase BC<br> 11 = Phase ABC The different line parameters used in the PSCAD model is as below, <strong>Conductor</strong> Type: Chukar<br> Geometric mean radius: 20.345 mm<br> DC resistance: 0.0318Ω/km<br> Strands: 84<br> Strand radius: 1.8491 mm<br> Relative permeability: 1.0<br> Sag: 12 m<br> Height: 22 m<br> Sub-conductor: 2<br> Sub-conductor spacing: 0.4572 m<br> Ground wire number: 2<br> Radius: 5.5245 mm<br> DC resistance: 2.8645Ω/km<br> Relative permeability: 1.0<br> Sag: 10 m<br> Height: 10 m <strong>Impedance</strong> Positive sequence 0.018 +j0.339 Ω/km<br> Zero sequence 0.266 +j1.017 Ω/km <strong>These simulations were run for assessing time-domain protections. Therefore, the parallel CB protection across the series capacitor is disabled, as one can safely assume even with the highest current levels, the CB will take at least 20 ms to operate. This is higher than the time limits for time-domain protection. </strong>
