“…Reference [24] uses the variation rate of the root mean square (RMS) of the current to distinguish PS from the fault. This method has the ability to detect various types of faults along with PS, especially high impedance faults [3]. Among the shortcomings of this method are the high fault detection time and non-detection of asymmetric PS (PS occurs in one phase) [3].…”

Nowadays, due to the simplicity of operation and proper coordination characteristics, distance relays are being extensively used in the protection of power transmission lines. Despite many advantages, the distance relay is exposed to a maloperation when a power swing phenomenon occurs. Power swings may occur due to major disturbances, such as switching lines, generator interruptions, and connecting or disconnecting a large part of the loads, causing outages in healthy lines. Detecting power swing and preventing distance relay maloperation has always been a challenge. In addition, different parameters can have a great impact on the performance of power swing detection methods. In this paper, these parameters and their effects are examined along with various methods for detecting power swings. Accordingly, this comprehensive review covers all aspects of power swing phenomenon and its detection, including causes of power swings, power swing detection methods, determining threshold values in power swing methods, effecting of compensated lines and wind farms in power swing detection methods, and testing power swing function in the distance relays. It is hoped that this study will be helpful for researchers in power system protection to find relevant references and develop new methods for power swing function.

“…Among the various protection relays, distance relays are an integral part of protecting power systems. These relays have desirable features such as simplicity, use of local voltage and current for detecting a fault and its location [3]. The features of the distance relay make it suitable for protecting power transmission lines [4,5].…”

“…A method based on the prediction of signal samples using phaselet transform is proposed in [30], though it needs a longer time for detecting faults that occur during a power swing and determining the appropriate threshold value is also very challenging. A method based on empirical mode decomposition is proposed in [31], which has the outstanding feature of being capable to detect a multi-mode power swing. However, the main limitation on its application is the strong dependence on the correct determination of the number of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), as the presented method can lead to erroneous IMFs in networks with different topologies.…”

Power swing is an undesirable variation in power flow. This can be caused by large disturbances in demand load, switching, disconnection or reclosing lines. This phenomenon may enter the zones of distance relays and cause relay malfunction leading to the disconnection of healthy lines and undermining network reliability. Accordingly, this paper presents a new power swing detection method based on the prediction of current signal with a GMDH (Group Method of Data Handling) artificial neural network. The main advantage of the proposed method over its counterparts is the immunity to noise effect in signals. In addition, the proposed method can detect stable, unstable, and multi-mode power swings and is capable of distinguishing them from the variety of permanent faults occurring simultaneously. The method is tested for different types of power swings and simultaneous faults using DIgSILENT and MATLAB, and compared with some latest power swing detection methods. The results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method in terms of response time, the ability to detect power swings of different varieties, and the ability to detect different faults that may occur simultaneously with power swings.

“…There are also new methods to differentiate faults from power swings, which could be organised into four groups. Voltage analysis such as the rate of change of power swing centre voltage [5], bus voltage [6], and peaks of the derivative of a voltage signal [7], current waveform analysis [8][9][10][11][12][13], power analysis [14,15], and checking the impedance [16] are four variables used to distinguish faults from power swings. A combination of these approaches is employed in some techniques, as well [17][18][19][20][21].…”

Distance protection plays an essential role in the protection of sub-transmission and transmission lines in power systems. However, power swings have occasionally led to the mal-operation of this type of protection. A significant number of large disturbances, such as blackouts, start with power swings. Thus, improving the circumstances leading to this disruptive phenomenon becomes a great priority. Nowadays, the wind power share of worldwide electricity generation and the use of wind farms have increased. As a result, to predict future events, it is necessary to assess the network in the presence of these renewable sources. In this paper, the effects of the wind resources penetration on power swing have been evaluated. Simulations and analyses have been performed in PSCAD/EMTDC and MATLAB environments, respectively. To provide a comprehensive analysis, maximum power passing through the transmission line and power swing frequency have been utilised as criteria. The results show that wind farms presented acceptable behaviour in the presence of power swing and instability. Therefore, in view point of a power swing, induction generator based wind power plants, compared to synchronous generators, led to better overall conditions. Finally, the effect of fixed and variable speed wind turbines on power swing is compared.
