a b s t r a c t The ideal trip characteristics of the distance relay is greatly affected by pre-fault system conditions, ground fault resistance, shunt capacitance and mutual coupling of transmission network. This paper presents an extreme learning machine (ELM) based fast and accurate adaptive relaying scheme for stand-alone distance protection of transmission network. The proposed ELM based fast adaptive distance relaying scheme (FADRS) is extensively validated on the two terminal transmission lines with complex mutual coupling and shunt capacitance and, the performance is compared with the conventional artificial neural networks (ANNs) based adaptive distance relaying scheme (ADRS). The simulation results show significant improvement in the performance indices such as relay speed and selectivity. Further, the performance of proposed FADRS is tested for stressed condition such as power swing and found to be effective and reliable. Ó 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Introduction The mutual coupling between transmission lines is common in modern power systems network and has significant effect on behavior of the relay protection during faults involving ground. The positive and negative-sequence mutual impedances are negligible. However; the zero-sequence mutual coupling may be significant and should be considered for ground relays setting [1–4]. Initially, due to slow computer and communication technologies, overall integrated protection could not be put into practice. Still, digital relaying provided several advantages over conventional relaying (e.g., improved reliability, self-checking, functional flexibility, and adaptive relaying [5]). Adaptive relaying concepts provide another opportunity for improved performance [6,7]. In recent works [8,9], the adaptive relaying is conceptualized along with the detailed analyses of the apparent impedance as seen from the relaying point considering the mutual coupling, pre-fault condition, remote in-feed/out-feed and fault resistance. Further, single hidden layer feed-forward networks (SLFNs) have been discussed thoroughly by many researchers [10–13] for relaying applications. Two main architectures exist for SLFN, namely: (1) those with additive hidden nodes, and (2) those with radial basis function (RBF) hidden nodes. For many of the ⇑ Corresponding author.

applications using SLFNs, training methods are usually of batch-learning type. Batch learning is usually a time consuming affair as it may involve many iterations during training. In most applications, this may take several minutes to several hours and further, the learning parameters (i.e. learning rate, number of learning epochs, stopping criteria, and other predefined parameters) must be properly chosen to ensure convergence. Also, whenever a new data is received, batch learning uses the past data together with the new data and performs retraining and thus, consuming a lot of time. Extreme learning machine (ELM) proposed by Huang et al. [14] is a new learning scheme for single hidden layer feed forward networks (SLFNs). Compared to those traditional computational intelligence techniques, ELM provides better generalization performance with a much faster learning speed on a number of benchmark problems and engineering applications in regression and classification areas [15–17]. None of the above works has considered mutual coupling and shunt capacitance influences in case of three source simultaneously, along with the variations in the pre-fault load-flow condition and fault resistance while measuring the apparent impedance seen by the distance relay placed on a two-terminal transmission network with three sources. On the other hand, it is also observed that the conventional adaptive distance relaying learning algorithm based on back propagation neural networks (BPNN) and RBFNN is too slow.

distance protection of two-terminal transmission network with three equivalent source with a single-line-to-ground fault condition considering mutual coupling and shunt capacitance influences, simultaneously, along with the variations in the pre-fault load-flow condition and fault resistance. A mathematical model is developed and the analytical behavior of the relay considering the variations in fault resistance, fault position, and pre-fault power-flow conditions is studied using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The applicability of the adaptive concept for the transmission network protection during the single-line-to-ground fault is discussed. ELM with sigmoid activation function is used in developing the proposed scheme. Extensive test results are presented to investigating the influence of shunt capacitance on the ideal tripping region of an adaptive distance relay for a two-terminal transmission network. The proposed study focuses on building intelligent and adaptive relaying for zone-1 protection only. The rest of the line is protected by zone-2 and zone-3 back-up protection relay.

Extreme learning machine (ELM) ELM is a single hidden-layer feed forward neural network (SLFN) and its learning speed is faster than the traditional feed-forward network learning algorithm like back propagation algorithm while obtaining better generalization performance. The structure of ELM model is given in Fig. 7. ELM randomly chooses and fixes the weights between input neurons and hidden neurons based on continuous probability density function, and then analytically determines the weights between hidden neurons and output neurons of the SLFN.

communication technology, only local measurements at the sending end are used to estimate the entire power system operating condition. From this estimate, the appropriate relay settings are calculated. The ideal operating region of a distance relay within the normal range of real and reactive power flows can be calculated off-line based on a given system configuration and pre-fault flows. With these assumptions, the typical operating characteristic of a distance relay is depicted in Fig. 8. In this figure, the four boundaries (1, 2, 3, 4) of the trip region in the R–X plane are defined as follows: boundary ‘‘1’’ represents the relay reach during the fault at 80% of the line length with various fault resistances ranging from 0 to 200 O, boundary ‘‘2’’ represents the relay reach during the 200 O-fault resistance with various fault locations ranging from 0% to 80% of the line length, boundary ‘‘3’’ represents the relay reach during the fault at the relay point with various fault resistances ranging from 0 to 200 O and boundary ‘‘4’’ represents the relay reach during the solid fault with various fault locations ranging from 0% to 80% of the line length.

(iii) Selection of activation function and number of hidden node for the proposed ELM based ADRS The relationship between performance of ELM and number of hidden neuron for four different trip boundaries (1, 2, 3 and 4) is shown in Fig. 9. In the proposed ELM based ADRS scheme, sigmoid activation function is chosen after rigorous testing. The relationships between the training accuracy and number of hidden neuron during training of the ELM method are as shown in Fig. 10. The number of hidden neuron chosen for proposed ELM based ADRS scheme is 12, which provide minimum root mean square error (RMSE). Results and analysis (i) Power system and parameter initialization Computer simulation for different conditions has been widely investigated for a typical 400 kV, 128 km, 60 Hz overhead transmission line. The trip boundaries are set for different operating conditions of the three sources connected with transmission network in presence of shunt capacitance. Initially, the values of voltage and impedances are chosen as follows for setting the trip boundaries,

(ii) Input feature selection for training ELM To incorporate the effect of pre-fault active and reactive power flows on the relay trip region, the change in active and reactive power flows (DP, DQ) with respect to a constant reference values is used as the one of the input parameters to train the ELM. To train the ELM to adapt boundary ‘‘1’’, the three input parameters are taken as DP, DQ and the various values of resistance R1 along the boundary ‘‘1’’ with X1 as the corresponding output parameter. Similarly, the three input parameters DP, DQ and the various values of resistance X2 along with the boundary ‘‘2’’ with R2 as the corresponding output parameter are considered. The procedure used to train the ELM, which adapts to the boundary ‘‘3’’ are the same as the procedure of boundary ‘‘1’’ with corresponding R3, X3 parameters. Further, training the ELM to adapt boundary ‘‘4’’, the input and output parameters are the same as that of the ELM for boundary ‘‘2’’ but with corresponding X4 and R4 values. The aforementioned four different ELM were trained individually and the corresponding outputs of trained ELM are used together to estimate the trip region for a given pre-fault condition. The training sample data is generated for various values of active power-flow (P) ranging from 800 to 1000 MW and for various values of reactive power (Q) flow ranging from 200 to 300 MVAR, and a total of 18 sets of different cases are considered. As observed from Table 1, there are 18 operating conditions considered in this study. For each operating condition, the distance relay will have the trip region that has four boundaries (non-linear) as shown in Fig. 8 and for each boundary, 81 training samples in normalized from are generated. Therefore, there are 18  4  81 = 5832 samples chosen for training the ELM based ADRS. To avoid training difficulties caused by the different units of input and output features. Normalized value of xi and oj is used.

It is observed from Fig. 11(b) that the trip boundary is affected by shunt capacitance. Even though for zero fault resistance, the apparent impedance will not be the actual line positive sequence impedance from the relaying point to the fault. For higher value of fault resistance, the effect of shunt capacitance influence is more pronounced. Computer simulation for different system conditions are investigated with and without shunt capacitance influences as shown in Fig. 11(b). The operating region of relay on the R–X plane for various load conditions under normal active and reactive power flows the studied have been carried out with such variation is as shown in Fig. 12(a) and (b). From these figures, it is found that the

samples were generated for testing the ELM based ADRS). Total 120 different test samples were generated at regular intervals along the line, for different values of fault resistance (Rf) varies from 0 to 200 O. Fig. 13 shows hierarchical structure of fast adaptive distance relay. The generated test samples were different from the data samples considered to train the network. As an example, test results for the data set-1 and data set-2 operating condition listed in Table 2 for a required boundary are as depicted in Fig. 14. It is observed from Fig. 14 that testing results of the ELM-based network are able to give a successful prediction. For

Trip boundary-4

most cases, the ELM model is able to respond with negligible error. Therefore, the proposed ELM model performs accurately with high accuracy and enhances the performance of the distance relaying scheme under the influences of the mutual coupling and shunt capacitance effect of a two-terminal transmission line. The ELM module results for a few samples of test data set-1 and test data set-2 are presented in Tables 3 and 4. It is observed from Tables 3 and 4 that the trained ELM networks adapt to the operating conditions quite accurately. So based on the operating condition and the variation in the value of the proposed measured impedance

considering the mutual coupling and shunt capacitance effects, the adaptive relay will be able to take more appropriate trip (or no-trip) action as demanded under a particular operating condition. Fig. 14 shows the testing accuracy of trip boundaries-1, 2, 3 and 4 for wide variations in fault resistance (Rf) 0–200 O with fault location ranging from 0% to 80% (of transmission line length). (iii) Performance assessment of proposed FADRS over conventional ADRS

comparing the performance of the proposed FADRS with the conventional relay such as MHO relay. The comparison with conventional relay such as MHO relay is given in Fig. 15 and it is observed that the MHO relay fails to operate in case of fault with high fault resistance (Rf = 20 O and 50 O) whereas the proposed relay succeeds. The proposed scheme provides wider margin of relay characteristics to accommodate the high resistance fault cases where the conventional MHO relay fails. (iv) Performance of proposed FADRS during stress condition

The adaptive distance relaying scheme (ADRS) for transmission networks with line-to-ground fault (a–g) situation is proposed and the impact of variations in operating conditions on the relay characteristics is studied. It is observed that the trip boundaries are significantly affected while the system configuration changes. Thus, the relay setting must be accordingly done to accommodate the changes in power system operating conditions during fault process. The conventional ANN (BPNN and RBFNN) based ADRS [8,9] uses batch learning process which is usually a time consuming process as it may involve many iterations during training. In most applications, this may take several minutes to several hours and further, the learning parameters (i.e. learning rate, number of learning epochs, stopping criteria, and other predefined parameters) must be properly chosen to ensure convergence. Also, whenever a new data is received, the batch learning uses the past data together with the new data and performs a retraining and thus, consumes a lot of time. Proposed extreme learning machine (ELM) based FADRS uses single hidden layer feed forward networks (SLFNs) [12–17]. Compared to those traditional computational intelligence (BPNN and RBFNN [7–9]) techniques, ELM provides better generalization performance with a much faster learning speed on a given problems. In case of ELM based FADRS, training time is much less compared to the conventional ANN based ADRS (Table 5). Further

The performance of the proposed ELM based FADRS are tested under stressed condition such as power swing [18–24]. Power swing is one of the major issues and the relay must perform accordingly. During power swing, the relay must not issue the tripping signal whereas the relay must issue the tripping signal for faults during power swing. Fig. 16(a) shows the apparent impedance trajectory seen by relay at bus M during the fast swing with a frequency of 5 Hz, whereas Fig. 16(b) shows the apparent impedance trajectory seen by relay at bus M for A–G fault during power swing. It is clearly observed that the impedance trajectory does not enter into the tripping zone for power swing case and enters into the tripping zone in the case of faults during power swing. This improves the reliability of the relay over the existing relays in distinguishing power swing and fault during power swing. Further, the apparent impedance is evaluated using the computed positive, negative and zero sequence components from the estimated phasors. The experimental validation is carried out on OPAL-RT eMEGAsim Real Time Simulator OP5600 platform. The simulator contains a powerful real time target computer equipped with up to 12, 3.3-GHz processor cores with a real-time operating system from QNX and Red Hat Linux. RT-LAB software is a distributed real time platform fully integrated with MATLAB/Simulink. It is the software that is used to conduct real time simulation of Simulink

Conclusion This paper presents an adaptive protection scheme based on ELM which addresses the problems experienced by conventional distance protection schemes for two terminal lines due to complex mutual coupling and shunt capacitance, under different power system conditions. Detailed modeling and analysis of apparent impedance seen from the relaying point are presented by considering the effect of complex mutual coupling situation, with and without shunt capacitance effect for the transmission line. The proposed approach uses local relaying end information for generating the tripping zone and found highly effective considering wide variations in operating parameters. The proposed ELM based ADRS is found suitable for relaying application subjected to changing power system environment which is more likely to occur in modern power transmission network. The test results indicate that the proposed adaptive technique is highly effective and reliable for adaptive protection of transmission lines including mutual coupling and shunt capacitive effects.
