Abstract :
This paper is based upon a NERC report released in 2013 that claimed a dramatic rise in the annual number of misoperations-due in large part to the complexity of programming and testing numerical protection relays. This paper illustrates results discussed in the NERC report, as well as provides several interesting examples of actual misoperations and how to mitigate them.
