| Presentation: |
Distance Element Improvements - A Case Study
In August 1999, a thunderstorm and lightning strike caused relay
misoperations and a two minute outage at a petrochemical plant.
The outage led to an exhaustive root-cause analysis and subsequent
litigation. This paper shares details about the event and its root
cause, contrasts distance and fault identification algorithms,
demonstrates methodical analysis techniques, and proposes solutions.
This paper also highlights that engineers face the challenge of
always staying current with their experience and understanding of
the “state-of-the-art.” The paper challenges engineers
to do the right thing, find root cause, and solve problems. |
