Abstract
Maloperation of conventional relays is becoming prevalent due to ever increase in complexity of conventional power grids. They are dominant during power system contingencies like power swing, load encroachment, voltage instability, unbalanced loading, etc. In these situations, adaptive supervised wide-area backup protection (ASWABP) plays a major role in enhancing the power system reliability. A balance between security and dependability of protection is essential to maintain the reliability. This paper proposes multi-phasor measurement units (MPMU) based ASWABP scheme that can function effectively during faults besides power system contingencies. MPMU is an extended version of Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU). It is an intelligent electronic device which estimates the synchronized predominant harmonic phasors (100Hz and 150Hz) along with the fundamental phasors (50Hz) of three phase voltages and currents with high precision. The proposed ASWABP scheme can detect the fault, identify the parent bus, determine the faulty branch and classify the faults using MPMU measurements at System Protection Center (SPC). Based on these MPMU measurements (received at phasor data concentrator (PDC) at SPC) the appropriate relays will be supervised to enhance the overall reliability of the power grid. Numerous case studies are conducted on WSCC-9 bus and IEEE-14 bus systems to illustrate the security and dependability attributes of proposed ASWABP scheme in MATLAB/Simulink environment. Also, comparative studies are performed with the existing conventional distance protection (Mho relays) for corroborating the superiority of the proposed scheme regarding security and dependability. Comparative studies have shown that the proposed scheme can be used as adaptive supervised wide-area backup protection of conventional distance protection.

1 Introduction
The ever-increasing demand for electricity causes conventional power grids to operate at their maximum operating limit. When the system is under such stressed condition, the occurrence of a static phenomenon like load encroachment or dynamic phenomena like power swings may result in maloperation of distance relays [1–5]. This paves the way for fairly reduced security in power system protection. The abridged security increases the dependability of the protection system [6]. However, balanced measures of security and dependability in a protection system are required for the reliable operation of the power system under any operating conditions [7]. Therefore, developing an adaptive coordinated control of the protection system is a growing need for maintaining security-dependability balance [8, 9]. Emerging synchrophasor measurements based supervised backup protection methodologies can effectively maintain this balance and hence enhances reliability of the power system [10, 11].
Inordinate research attention is being received towards synchrophasor measurements based backup protection methods for transmission lines. Major research works rely on phasor measurement unit (PMU) based wide area measurement system (WAMS) and wide area protection system (WAPS) [12–17]. WAMS and WAPS incorporated in backup protection systems were named as a wide-area backup protection (WABP) system [18–23]. P.K. Nayak et.al, in their research work [18] have developed a WABP system based on sequence components of the bus voltages. With this proposed system, the authors could identify the bus nearer to the fault and faulty line. Based on these data, the relays to be operated are recognized. Hinge et.al [19] have developed WABP, which works based on segregated phase comparison technique. However, the methodologies proposed in [18, 19] may require recalibration of existing relays in terms of pickup criterion sensitivity. Hall et.al [20] have proposed a wide-area distributed current differential scheme for WABP of the transmission line. However, the accuracy of the proposed scheme is affected by the power system unbalances. Though, the differential protection is simple in principle, but not so easy for implementation because it depends on data synchronization on both sides of the line to be protected. Li et.al in their research work [21] have evaluated the performance of WABP under various power system disturbances. The research works proposed in [20, 21] requires PMUs to be placed at all the buses. Sheng et.al in [22], have implemented numerical relays based on intelligent electronic devices in coordination with other relay agents for maintaining security-dependability balance. J. Ma et.al [23] have developed a fitting factor based WABP. A fault condition is identified based on the higher value of the ratio between protection fitness function and protection fitness expectation function. To avoid maloperation of the relays with multi-zone protection during power swing condition, swing blocking and operating components must be added in Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) [22, 23].
The proposed research methodology attempts to overcome the limitations and shortcomings of methodologies discussed above. The ASWABP scheme can effectively detect and classify the faults using harmonic phasor-estimates (50Hz, 100Hz and 150Hz) of three phase current signals obtained from MPMU for the backup protection of transmission lines. Equivalent harmonic coefficients (EHC), IEHC of branches at all buses is calculated to identify the parent bus in the power system. Once the parent bus is identified, the deviation of EHC of all branches w.r.t parent bus is calculated to determine the faulty branch and corresponding relays to be supervised. Furthermore, the transient events other than faults such as power swings and load encroachment along with unbalanced load are detected by using the magnitude of the fundamental current phasor besides the second and third order harmonic current phasors magnitude. The performance of the proposed scheme is validated for different fault conditions (fault resistance (FR), fault inception angle (FIA) & fault distance (FD)) and other than fault events by carrying out extensive simulations on WSCC-9 bus and IEEE-14 bus systems.

3 Methods
3.1 Adaptive supervised wide-area backup protection scheme
The backup protection plays a major role in increasing the dependability of the power system protection. This increased dependability is acceptable when the power system is in normal operating condition. However, when the system is being operated at its maximum operating limit, a false trip would result in greater damage. Hence, it is desirable to increase the security attribute of the protection system. The security-dependability balance is essential for reliable operation of a power system [6].

The positive and zero sequence parameters for 100 km length of the transmission line in WSCC-9 bus system considered are R1 = 2.34 Ω, R0 = 38.85 Ω, L1 = 95.10 mH, L0 = 325.08 mH, C1 = 1.24 μF, C0 = 0.845 μF [24]. The values of negative sequence parameters are same as positive sequence parameters. The simulations are carried out in per unit (p.u) system with the base kV and MVA as 400 kV and 100MVA respectively. MPMUs are installed at BUS-4, BUS-9 and BUS-7 using the optimal PMU location technique proposed for WABP in [29].
3.1.1 Dependability attribute of proposed methodology
Dependability attribute of the protection system is a measure of certainty that the protection system would function accordingly for which it is designed to operate [6].
The dependability feature of the proposed backup protection system for transmission line protection is discussed as follows.
Sequence of execution of proposed ASWABP Scheme at SPC
where \( {I}_{Rk}^b \) is the kth order harmonic phasor in R-phase current of a branch ‘b’. Similarly, \( {I}_{Yk}^b \) and \( {I}_{Bk}^b \) represent the kth order harmonic phasors in Y and B phase currents of the branch bus ‘b’ respectively.
Once the parent bus is identified and the faulty branch is detected then fault classification algorithm is executed as illustrated in Fig. 3. If the magnitudes of all 2nd (IR2, IY2, and IB2) and 3rd (IR3, IY3 and IB3) order harmonic phasors of three phase currents (R, Y and B) are greater than zero, identified fault is RYB. Else, if the magnitudes of predominant harmonic phasors of R and Y phase currents are greater than zero, identified fault is either RY or RYG. The type of fault is further distinguished in the following way: if |IR2| is equal to |IY2|, and |IR3| is equal to |IY3|, the classified fault is RY. Otherwise, it is RYG fault. The detected fault is either YB or YBG if the magnitudes of a second (IY2 and IB2) and third order harmonic phasors (IY3 and IB3) of Y and B phase currents are greater than zero. Further, it is classified as YB if |IY2| ≈ |IB2|, and |IY3| ≈ |IB3|. Otherwise, it is YBG fault. The identified fault is either BR or BRG if (|IB2| & |IR2|) and (|IB3| & |IR3|) are greater than zero. Furthermore, it is classified as a BR fault, if |IB2| ≈ |IR2|, and |IB3| ≈ |IR3|. Otherwise, it is identified as a BRG fault. Detected fault will be RG if the magnitudes of predominant harmonic phasors (IR2 and IR3) of R-phase current alone are greater than zero. Else the fault is YG if 2nd (|IY2|) and 3rd (|IY3|) order phasors of Y-phase current are higher than zero. Otherwise, the fault is BG.

From the above case studies, it is observed that the proposed methodology is instrumental in enhancing the dependability of the protection system.
3.1.2 Security attribute of proposed methodology
When transmission system is under stressed condition (like power swing, load encroachment and unbalanced loading, etc.), the insecure operation of protection system would result in greater damage to the system. In such conditions, it is desirable to alter the bias of the protection system in favor of increased security with a slightly increased possibility that the primary protection would not work as designed in case of a fault. So, security is defined as the measure of certainty that the protection system would not malfunction [6].
In this paper, the proposed scheme is devised to detect such events and take appropriate decisions under the supervision of SPC to enhance the security of the power system. Such events are detected using the fundamental phasor (\( \Big|{\mathrm{I}}_{R1}^b \)|, |\( {\mathrm{I}}_{Y1}^b\Big| \) and |\( {\mathrm{I}}_{B1}^b\Big| \)) of three phase currents along with the second and third order harmonic phasors (\( \Big|{\mathrm{I}}_{R2}^b \)|, |\( {\mathrm{I}}_{Y2}^b\Big| \), |\( {\mathrm{I}}_{B2}^b\Big| \), \( \Big|{\mathrm{I}}_{R3}^b \)|, |\( {\mathrm{I}}_{Y3}^b\Big| \) and |\( {\mathrm{I}}_{B3}^b\Big| \)) of connected branch ‘b’ as shown in Fig. 3. If any conditions like power swing, load encroachment, and unbalanced loading occurs, the magnitude of 2nd and 3rd order harmonic current phasors are equal to zero but the magnitude of any one of the fundamental phasors of three phase currents will be more than the rated value. If this condition is detected SPC takes the necessary action. Thereby, the security of the protection system will be enhanced.

For instance, consider power swing condition when branch 4–6 is disconnected from the system due to some abnormal condition. The measurements of all branches connected to all MPMU buses are given in Table 2. From Table 2, the magnitude of fundamental phasors of 3-Φ current signals (\( \Big|{\mathrm{I}}_{R1}^b \)|, |\( {\mathrm{I}}_{Y1}^b\Big| \), |\( {\mathrm{I}}_{B1}^b\Big| \)) of all branches of MPMU buses are higher than rated value. However, the magnitudes of the predominant current harmonic phasors (\( \Big|{\mathrm{I}}_{R2}^b \)|, |\( {\mathrm{I}}_{Y2}^b\Big| \), |\( {\mathrm{I}}_{B2}^b\Big| \), \( \Big|{\mathrm{I}}_{R3}^b \)|, |\( {\mathrm{I}}_{Y3}^b\Big| \) and |\( {\mathrm{I}}_{B3}^b\Big| \)) are zero. When these values are passed through the proposed scheme, it is identified as other than fault condition because none of the second and third order harmonic current phasors satisfy the fault detection criterion, and the magnitudes of the fundamental current phasors are more than the rated values. Among all branches of MPMU buses, branch 9–6 of BUS-9 has higher magnitudes of fundamental current phasors, hence the relays R 96 and R 69 of the branch 6–9 are instructed (by SPC) not to operate. Similarly, the proposed algorithm can perform well even under load encroachment and unbalanced conditions as given in Table 2. The corresponding results tabulated in Table 2, validate the security attribute of the proposed algorithm. Hence, the proposed algorithm can enhance the security of the protection system.
Further, fault conditions during power swing and load encroachment are also studied, and the presence of harmonics can be observed. Results of these case studies are also tabulated in Table 2. The fault detection, parent bus identification, determination of faulty branch relays to be supervised and fault classification methods remain same as described in the preceding section. Similar analysis can be carried as illustrated in the algorithm, for all other case studies (LG, LL and LLL) and faults are classified even during power system contingencies.
From the above discussions on backup fault detection, parent bus identification, determination of the faulty branch, classification of faults and detection of power system contingencies, it is inferred that the SPC takes an appropriate decision for enhancing the security and dependability attributes of the protection system using wide-area current phasor measurements. In other words, the reliability of the protection system can be enhanced.

Table 3 portrays the results of different faults with different fault conditions along with no fault condition. From Table 3, it is observed that all faults are properly detected, the corresponding parent bus is identified, relays of the faulty branch are identified and type of fault is classified. The corresponding measurements are processed through the proposed algorithm as illustrated in section 3. Further, case studies of power system contingencies (power swing and load encroachment with and without faults and unbalanced loading) conducted on IEEE-14 bus system are given in Table 4. It is observed from Table 4 that during these contingencies without fault, the magnitudes of second and third order harmonic current phasors are equal to zero, but that of fundamental current phasors are greater than the rated values. Hence, the proposed scheme has detected them as other than fault (power system contingency) events. The proposed scheme has performed as well when a fault occurs during power system contingency conditions as given in Table 4. In all the power system disturbances, SPC takes appropriate decision and guides the corresponding relays as given Tables 3 and 4.
4.2 The performance of the distance protection (Mho relays) scheme during various power system disturbances
Impedance trajectory of (a) R13-12, when LG (70Ω, 1440 and 200 km from BUS-13) fault occurred; (b) R7-8, when LL (50Ω, 900 and 0 km from BUS-7) fault occurred; (c) R2-1, when LLG (15Ω, 720 and 70 km from BUS-2) fault occurred; (d) R9-10, when LLL (60Ω, 00 and 65 km from BUS-9) fault occurred
Impedance trajectory of (a). R6-11, when power swing occurred due to loss of line 10-11; (b). R4-3, when load encroachment occurred due to overloading at BUS-3; (c). R6-12, when unbalanced loading occurred at BUS-12
Likewise, for LLG fault occurred in branch 1–2 with fault conditions as given in Table 3, the relay R2–1 is observing the fault in Zone-1, which is the correct operation. For LLL occurred in branch 9–10 with fault conditions as shown in Table 3, the relay R9–10 is observing in Zone-3 instead of Zone-2, because of high impedance fault. The impedance locus of the relays R2–1 and R9–10 for LLG and LLL faults are shown in Fig. 5c and 5d respectively.
Further, the performance of the distance relays is verified for power swing, load encroachment and unbalanced loading (in IEEE-14 bus system). A Stable power swing is simulated by disconnecting line 10-11. When the line 10-11 is disconnected, power flowing through line 10-11 is diverted through the remaining lines connected to BUS-11. Under this condition, the impedance locus enters Zone-2 of R6–11 as shown in Fig. 6a. Therefore, the relay R6–11 will operate as per its time setting though it should not operate.
Load encroachment is created by increasing the load at BUS-3 to 150%. At this condition, the relay R4–3 (backup for R3–2) has observed the impedance in Zone-3 as shown in Fig. 6b. Furthermore, unbalanced loading is simulated at BUS-12 by loading R, Y and B phases unequally. For this condition, the relays R 6–12 located at BUS-6 has observed the impedance trajectory in Zone-3 as shown in Fig. 6c.
In the same way, the performance of the conventional distance relays is verified for power swing and load encroachment with faults. The distance relays will not refuse to operate for faults under any one of the above power system contingencies.
From the above studies, it can be inferred that mho relays maloperate for high impedance faults and power system contingencies (power swing, load encroachment and unbalanced loading) without faults. These situations demand adaptive supervised backup protection systems, which are based on wide-area synchrophasor measurements.

The case studies as depicted in Table 5 illustrate the security and dependability measures of both the schemes. The actions taken by the proposed scheme are desirable and correct for all the case studies whereas that of conventional distance protection are not desirable and incorrect in some cases. For instance, consider LG fault with FR of 70Ω & FIA of 1440 at 200 km in branch 13–12 from BUS-13 (in the IEEE-14 bus system). As illustrated in subsection 4.1 and 4.2, the decision taken by conventional distance protection is not desirable and incorrect. Whereas using proposed ASWABP scheme, the operation of the supervised protective relay will be correct and desirable.
Similarly, for the remaining case studies, it is understood that the performance of the proposed ASWABP is superior over that of the conventional distance protection. Hence, the proposed ASWABP scheme is secure and dependable. The analysis emphasizes the necessity of the proposed scheme as an adaptive supervised wide-area backup protection for distance protection.
5 Conclusions
WABP systems are essential for maintaining elevated reliability of the protection system under faults and power system contingencies like power swing, load encroachment and unbalanced loading. This paper proposes MPMU based ASWABP scheme, that can detect the transmission line fault, identifies the parent bus, faulty branch & relays to be supervised and classify the type of fault during power system disturbances. WSCC-9 bus and IEEE-14 bus systems are considered as test systems. Results have shown that the proposed methodology is immune to variation in fault parameters. Also, it can achieve the security-dependability balance during faults and power system contingencies to assist system protection center (SPC) in taking appropriate decision to any catastrophic situation in case of failure in the main protection system. Comparative studies performed have validated that the proposed scheme is superior to the conventional distance protection in terms of enhanced reliability. Futhermore, comparative studies have shown the necessity of the proposed scheme as a supervised wide-area backup system for distance protection to enhance the reliability.
