Taking the shunt capacitance of a transmission line compensated by the Accepted 12 October 2014 static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) as well as other affecting factors into account, this paper Available online 9 November 2014 derives precise mathematical expressions governing the apparent impedance seen by the distance relay of the line. Through the acquired expressions, the research conducts sensitivity studies considering Keywords: different compensation scenarios and locat
