Hasani, Abbas, Haghjoo, Farhad, Bak, Claus Leth, Faria da Silva, Filipe.  2019.  Performance Evaluation of Some Industrial Loss of Field Protection Schemes Using a Realistic Model in The RTDS. 2019 IEEE International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering and 2019 IEEE Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Europe (EEEIC / I CPS Europe). :1—5.

Loss of field (LOF) relay, with ANSI code 40, is one of the most important protection functions for synchronous generators in power plants. Although many LOF protection schemes have been presented in the literature during the last decades, a few numbers of them such as impedance and admittance based schemes are accepted by the industry. This paper explores and compares the performances of some industrial LOF protection schemes through simulation studies and from speed, reliability and security viewpoints. The simulation studies are carried out in the real-time-digital-simulator, where a realistic power generation unit is developed by employing the phase domain model of synchronous generator. Using such a realistic system, various types of LOF events can be simulated in accordance with IEEE Standard C37.102-2006, so that the performance of any method can be evaluated through careful LOF studies.

Richter, Michael, Mehlmann, Gert, Luther, Matthias.  2019.  Grid Code Compliant Modeling and Control of Modular Multilevel Converters during Unbalanced Faults. 2019 54th International Universities Power Engineering Conference (UPEC). :1–6.

This paper presents necessary modeling and control enhancements for Modular Multilevel Converters (MMC) to provide Fault-Ride-Through capability and fast fault current injection as required by the new German Technical Connection Rules for HVDC. HVDC converters have to be able to detect and control the grid voltage and grid currents accurately during all fault conditions. That applies to the positive as well as negative sequence components, hence a Decoupled Double Synchronous Reference Frame - Phase-Locked-Loop (DDSRF-PLL) and Current Control (DDSRF-CC) are implemented. In addition, an enhanced current limitation and an extension of the horizontal balancing control are proposed to complement the control structure for safe operation.
