Abstract

General background of the power system and its protection scheme is discussed in this chapter. It also covers the requirements of protection systems and importance of primary and back-up relaying. Consequently, history of protective relays and concepts of adaptive relays are discussed in this chapter. This chapter ends with providing the research opportunities in the area of digital protection of single infeed and double infeed transmission lines for high resistance ground faults, protection of uncompensated/series compensated transmission lines for different types of simultaneous faults (earthed/unearthed inter-circuit faults, simultaneous open conductor and ground fault) and protection of series compensated lines for phase faults.
