Abstract :
A novel hybrid protection algorithm, based on traveling wave protection principle and boundary protection principle for a monopolar HVDC line is proposed. Stationary wavelet transform (SWT) is adopted in the traveling wave protection to process the dc signal and then wavelet modulus maxima are used to further represent the useful traveling wave signal. The boundary protection principle based on SWT is used jointly with traveling wave protection to distinguish internal faults from external faults. The effect of border distortion, noise, high ground fault resistance, close-up faults, transients caused by lightning strokes and different dc line terminations are considered in the paper.
