Abstract

To solve the problem of high impedance line-to-ground fault (HILGF), a solution using isolation transformers for subnetwork divisions was previously implemented in the power distribution network. As a result of that, the network has been experiencing ferroresonance more often. We have furthered our understanding of the situation by modelling and simulations under the Power System Computer-Aided Design for Electromagnetic Transients and Direct Current (PSCAD/EMTDC) based on its real parameters. The ferroresonance originates from the network response to the HILGF clearing. Subnetwork division has certainly improved the network fault damping factor, but the line capacitance reduction it caused has exposed the system to ferroresonance. To mitigate the ferroresonance, high-frequency components are removed from the zero-sequence current using the morphological filter; then through edge detection, it is used as the input signal to the control module. The control module then takes the ferroresonance mitigation action intelligently. Testing this proposed solution has given promising results that testify to its effectiveness in real-time application.
