Performance comparison between Dual-blinder and a Phasor-based Out of Step detection functions using hardware in the loop test

When an Out of Step (OOS) event occurs between two connected areas in the power system, the two areas should be separated before the OOS results in generation loss, equipment damage, and eventually a total black-out. This separation is achieved via the OOS function that implemented at specific transmission lines. One of the commonly used methods to achieve the OOS tripping functionality is the Dual-Blinder Scheme, which compare the locally measured impedance to a set value. In this research, a Phasor-Based OOS tripping function, based on the derivatives of the voltage phase angle difference between the two areas, is evaluated against the Dual-Blinder method using a real-time digital simulator, a protective relay, and a Synchrophasor Vector Processor (SVP). The evaluation shows that the Phasor-Based function predicted the OOS before the Dual-Blinder OOS function when the power system was having damping problems. In other cases, the Dual-Blinder OOS function tripped faster in most of the considered cases. Finally, this research suggests some improvements for implementing the Phasor-Based OOS function in the future.
