Abstract
This paper is aimed to propose a novel distance relay algorithm, which includes the effect of simultaneous fault. The previous research paper can give an uncertain result in a fault classification during simultaneous faults. In order to overcome this problem, the comparison of coefficients of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) has been developed. The fault analysis is performed using PSCAD/EMTDC. The current waveforms obtained from PSCAD/EMTDC are extracted to several scales with the wavelet transform, and the coefficients of the first scale from the wavelet transform are investigated. The coefficient details of DWT at the first peak time that positive sequence current can detect fault, are performed as comparison indicator in order to classify fault types. It is found that the technique proposed in this paper gives satisfactory results in the simultaneous fault classification. © 2011 ISSN 2185-2766.
