Modeling and Simulation of 500 kV Transmission Network for Numerical Fault Calculation, Detection, Using PSCAD/EMTDC

This paper presents modeling of the 500 kV transmission line located between Bang-Saphan 2 (BSP2) and Chom-Bung (CBG) substations, Thailand. The network is modeled based on the transient simulation program- PSCAD/EMTDC. The equivalent circuit of BSP2 and CBG is obtained from the actual parameters. The initial condition parameters are verified by PSS/E, an electrical simulation program. After the modeling has been established, a fault analysis is done by using PSCAD/EMTDC in order to study the system response when fault constrains are applied. This paper has illustrated that how the information on the sampled voltage and current waveforms derived from PSCAD/EMDTC modeling and simulation can be used for fault detection, classification and location.
