“…The conventional SG out-of-step protection based on impedance measurement (13) Digital low-pass filter -The correlated data window size, used for calculating the correlation coefficients, is considered a digital low-pass filter -Some of them require additional digital low-pass filters [14,22,26] (14) Simplicity -The algorithm uses simple and fast mathematical operations, and can be used as a real-time method due to its implementation and adjustment with ease -Some algorithms use complicated mathematical models [17,18,25,27] (15) Relay accuracy -The results show the good properties of the proposed algorithm in terms of safety and accuracy of out-of-step detection. The simulation results show that the proposed method predicts and detects instability accurately with appropriate prediction time -Some conventional algorithms lose the accuracy property of out-of-step prediction and detection, as well as assessment of the remaining time until instability [5,8,11] (16) Relay reliability -The proposed scheme verifies the requirements of protection reliability (i.e., dependability and security) for operation. The relay reliability is mainly evaluated by the failure absence of the relay operation -The proposed method not only predicts the stability condition, but also extracts the instability time, and, therefore, the remaining time until instability (i.e., out-of-step occurrence).…”
