C I R E D 22nd International Conference on Electricity Distribution Stockholm, 10-13 June 2013 Paper 0120 CENTRALISED BUSBAR PROTECTION FOR SMARTER GRIDS Philippe BRUN Sankara SUBRAMANIAN ALSTOM Grid SAS, Montpellier ALSTOM Grid Limited, UK philippe.brun@ sankara.subramanian@ INTRODUCTION The specifications and expectations of busbar protection at distribution grid have increased over the last few years thanks to increasing levels of interconnections at the distribution grid due to distributed generations. Economical versions of Numerical busbar protection have become a norm at the distribution levels. According to lessons learned and in order to meet the expectation of both the performance and cost numerical version of centralised busbar schemes have been evolved. CHALLENGE FOR LOW IMPEDANCE Some of the challenges that low impedance busbar current differential face are reliability and security. More critically various different techniques (such as fault Low impedance based busbar protection schemes must be detectors) help in unblocking the protection to enable able to operate in the presence of significant CT saturation
