Description
Summary:Accurate indiscrimination of CT saturation can be caused mal-operation of protection systems. Due to nonlinear and loss characteristic behavior of CTs, it is necessary to use a numerical method to detect CT saturation, accurately. In this paper a new method has been presented to determine the CT saturation. In proposed method, the core loss of CT and instantaneous inductance of magnetic core have been modeled by linear and nonlinear resistances and Jiles Atherton model, respectively. Then the instantaneous impedance of magnetic branches has been calculated by Fast Inverse Laplace Transform (FILT). This algorithm has been implemented to Matlab and PSCAD/EMTDC softwares. Also, impact of different parameters such as type of fault, residual flux, fault initial angle, DC offset and etc. have been evaluated. In comparison with previous researches, simulation results show this algorithm have the proper accuracy, speed and reliability.
