Abstract
High demands are imposed on power transformer protective relays. Requirements include dependability (no missing operations), security (no false trippings), and speed of operation (short fault clearing time). The operating conditions of power transformers do not make the relaying task easy. Protection of large power transformers is one of the most challenging problems in the power system relaying area. Advanced digital signal processing techniques and artificial intelligence (Al) approaches to power system protection provide the means to enhance the classical protection principles and facilitate faster, more secure, and dependable protection for power transformers. Also, it is anticipated that, in the near future, more measurements will be available to transformer relays, owing to both substation integration and novel sensors installed on power transformers. All of this will change the practice for power transformer protection. This article briefly reviews the state of the art, but is primarily devoted to discussion of new approaches and future directions in digital relaying for power transformers.
