RESULTS CONCLUSION

➤ Line differential relay communication was IEEE C37.94 based communication backbone can be
established between the two ABB make relays. deployed for protection system satisfactorily without
affecting its performance adversely. On the other hand,
➤ Operational performance for line differential relay implementing this in line differential protection adds
was found satisfactory. flexibility and redundancy to the communication channel

➤ Operating time of line differential relay was found event of failure of a running path, greatly improving the
within 40 ms. overall reliability of the protection scheme.

➤ Transmission time delay, measured by line differential ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

IMPLEMENTATION AND SCALABILITY The IEEE guidelines were our reference through the
overall project.
This standard has already been commissioned for Main-1
protection (SIEMENS make 7SD522 relay) for four 132kV
lines. Future plan is to implement this standard for Main-1
protection of all the 132kV and 220kV lines.

We will closely monitor the parameters of this standard if
possible, in future we may also use it for Main-2 protection.
