we use more than one relays for the protection of substation therefore adequate co ordination needed among the different types of relays being used in the same bay.
Coordination among relays in a 66kV substation is essential for effective protection and system stability, achieved through selectivity, time coordination, and appropriate current settings. Different relay types, such as overcurrent, distance, and differential protection, must be set to ensure only the closest relay to a fault operates, using time-current characteristic curves to define delays. Each relay's pickup current should be adjusted, with downstream relays set lower than upstream ones. Implementing zone protection for distance relays and utilizing communication protocols like IEC 61850 can enhance coordination and decision-making. Regular testing and validation of relay settings, thorough documentation, and training personnel in protective relay systems are vital for maintaining reliable operations and minimizing potential damage in the substation. Goodluck for your successful research.
Though with solar-wind domestic and industrial energy in systems the system becoming more rigid due to huge battery back up and engineer have to be more practical for relays setting and coordination as the change in system……
