Abstract

Abstract: In electric power system, transformers are an important element and their protection are critical. As the transformer might be damaged during a fault, faster and more selective protection was required. For this purpose, the design of differential protection was utilized. In this study, the differential relay simulation has been successfully done using MATLAB/Simulink. The essential approach is to protect the power transformer against internal faults and avoid interference in the power system. The evaluation has been accomplished at different fault conditions. Several types of faults including double line-to-ground, single line-to-ground and line-to-line faults are studied. Simulation studies were performed and the relays performance with different system parameters and conditions were investigated. The obtained results illustrated for the differential relay represents an appropriate action.
