The intermediate infeed effect is a phenomenon that occurs in multi-terminal distance protection schemes. For example, the additional current by a third terminal will rise the voltage at the intermediate busbar – this leads to an incorrectly calculated impedance within the protective relay.

The impedance increases and thus the distance protection could detect the fault location too far away and trip in a wrong zone. The protection system will not function as desired and will violate requirements for speed and selectivity. Therefore, it is important for protection engineers to know the effect and handle it correctly.

Modern protective relays use complex algorithms and adapt to network and failures. Simple function tests are often no longer sufficient for testing such relays. Our unique software RelaySimTest covers these new demands with a transient simulation of the primary power system. It can reveal failures created during calculations as well as during setup of the relay or a protection scheme, requiring only a minimum of test steps.

????✅ Substations can be an attractive target for cyber attacks. When it comes to cybersecurity in the power grid, people often only think about the security of the IT infrastructure and the control center. The networks inside the substations are often neglected in the risk assessment. Andreas Klien, expert in the field of cybersecurity for substations, gives an insight into how you can gain full control over activities in the network and why a firewall is not sufficient as protection in the substation. He refers to three frequently asked questions by our customers.

Partial discharge (PD) measurements are a highly effective onsite diagnosis tool for the detection and localization of potential failure-causing insulation weak spots in power transformers.

In this episode, OMICRON PD measurement experts Michael Krüger and Udo Ranninger describe the importance of onsite PD testing on both oil-filled and dry type power transformers, as well as how it is performed to effectively pinpoint insulation defects not revealed by other testing methods.
