Abstract
Ignoring the dynamic impedance characteristics of a thyristor-controlled series-capacitor-type fault current limiter (TCSC-FCL) may lead to maloperation/fail-to-trip or slow response of distance protection. To solve the above problem, the TCSC-FCL dynamic impedance analysis model was established. Taking the special operation mode of the TCSC-FCL into account, the time-varying characteristics of the TCSC-FCL during the whole process from the series compensation mode to the current-limiting mode were analyzed. Then, this paper proposed the function expression of dynamic impedance characteristics of the TCSC-FCL and put forward the distance protection setting strategy based on a dynamic offset impedance circle in order to eliminate the influence of TCSC-FCL dynamic impedance characteristics to the distance protection operation. By establishing a typical simulation model including the TCSC-FCL, the correctness of dynamic feature's analytic expression and the distance protection setting strategy is proved with extensive simulation results.
